Musicians take their protests of AI straight to the top.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A much more civilized affair than the Capitol riots, 21st September saw songwriters and composers arrive at Capitol Hill in their droves. The ASCAP-organised event<\/a> saw the creators sending a message that in an increasingly digital age – powered more and more by artificial intelligence – human creation needs to be valued and protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ‘Advocacy Day’ organised by ASCAP is part of the PROs ‘Stand with Songwriters’ campaign. The campaign aims to promote human importance with a stance that doesn’t oppose AI involvement but instead looks to see that Artificial Intelligence is treated wisely to enhance the real people in music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Humans first. That is our position<\/p>-ASCAP CEO Beth Matthews at the 2023 ASCAP AI Symposium<\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The ASCAP Board of Directors have outlined their “six key, creator-centric principles guiding our response to AI”:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Human Creators First <\/strong>| Prioritizing rights and compensation for human creativity<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transparency<\/strong> in identifying AI vs. human-generated works and retaining metadata<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consent <\/strong>| Protecting the right to decide whether your work is included in an AI training license<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compensation <\/strong>| Making sure creators are paid fairly when their work is used in ANY way by AI, which is best accomplished in a free market, NOT with government-mandated licensing that essentially eliminates consent<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Credit<\/strong> when creators\u2019 works are used in new AI-generated music<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Global Consistency<\/strong>\u00a0| An even playing field that values intellectual property across the global music and data ecosystem<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Capitol Hill event saw the group commissioning politicians to take notice and introduce legislature that will ensure the protection of human agency within the creative world. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
