Artificial Intelligence (AI) The National Music Council –
Consent, Credit and Compensation Charles Sanders, Chair of the National Music Council Board
As an important element in NMC’s efforts to help our members’ in protecting their intellectual property rights, our organization is carefully monitoring the explosive issue of generative artificial intelligence and its potentially devastating economic effects on the music community. In doing so, we want to stress that far from being anti-technology, our members are excited and supportive of the creative benefits of AI offered to human authors as tools for human creation and curation.
Our concerns are focused solely on the “generative” aspects of AI systems that enable unauthorized ingestion and use of our works in the creation of derivatives, for which we receive neither credit nor compensation. If left unchecked, this unfair trend may quickly devolve into an existential threat to the entire music creator com- munity and the industry that supports it.”
In the coming days you’ll be hearing much about NMC’s cham- pioning of the “3 Cs” when it comes to legislative and other GAI safeguards for authors. Those three principles are: “Consent, Credit and Compensation.” Our goal is to be collaborative and non-confrontational in joining with other authors' groups to ensure that the voice of the music creator is always heard. Ensuring the survival of a strong US music community – by mandating licens- ing, record keeping and payment obligations for all GAI systems – will help to advance both culture and economic growth in the United States.
The National Music Council is a forum for the free discussion of this country’s national music affairs and challenges.
