We stand ready to work with responsible AI developers who “train” their models fairly.
🌎🌍🌏 The tech and music sectors should work in harmony to build systems that avoid bias and promote opportunities for all creators, genres, and markets.
➡️ winformusic.org/ai-principles/

Transparency & accountability must be built into #GenAI development & use.
📝 Obligations are needed for developers in terms of record keeping/reporting/auditability of data used + labeling of AI-generated work + credit for creators if work is used.
➡️ winformusic.org/ai-principles/

Fighting unauthorized deepfakes allowed by AI should be a priority for public safety.
🎤 The protection of creators against non-consensual AI-generated use of voice/image/name/likeness should be strengthened or introduced.
WIN principles for #GenAI ➡️ winformusic.org/ai-principles/

Creativity is inherently human.
🎼 Generative AI should be developed and applied to assist & facilitate human artistry & creativity, not to replace it.

Huge congratulations to Black and Irish who were honoured with the IMPALA #Changemaker Award 3rd edition 🎉

Creators have a right to earn a living from their work.
🤝 Independents embrace tech developments and are willing to explore licensing & commercial opportunities with AI developers to create a fully functioning marketplace.
