A coalition of major music and other organizations announced the launch of the Human Artistry Campaign,
which is seeking to make sure AI technologies are created and utilized
"in ways that support human culture and artistry — and not ways that
replace or erode it."
The campaign was announced at Thursday's SXSW
in Austin, Texas. It supports, among other ideas, that copyright should
protect only the "unique value of human intellectual creativity."
- Members
include the Recording Industry Association of America, the European
Composer and Songwriter Alliance, the NFL Players Association,
SAG-AFTRA, the Artist Rights Alliance, and others.
- The coalition shared its principles for AI best practices.
- It's asking people to sign an online petition
supporting the seven principles, which state that "Technology has long
empowered human expression, and AI will be no different" and
"Human-created works will continue to play an essential role in our
lives."
- The principles also emphasize that using copyrighted
works and the voices of human performers requires licensing and
adherence to laws, among other beliefs.
