Sony Music warns global tech and streamers over AI use of its artists

Posted by in categories: media & arts, robotics/AI

The letter, which is being sent to tech companies around the world this week, marks an escalation of the music group’s attempts to stop the melodies, lyrics and images from copyrighted songs and artists being used by tech companies to produce new versions or to train systems to create their own music.

The letter says that Sony Music and its artists “recognise the significant potential and advancement of artificial intelligence” but adds that “unauthorised use… in the training, development or commercialisation of AI systems deprives [Sony] of control over and appropriate compensation”

It says: “This letter serves to put you on notice directly, and reiterate, that [Sony’s labels] expressly prohibit any use of [their] content.”
