Artists Unite to Defend Creative Rights Against AI Exploitation

Artists across creative industries are increasingly concerned about the impacts of AI on their work and livelihoods. Campaigns are emerging calling for limiting corporations' ability to copyright AI-generated art.

Musicians in particular are familiar with AI music production tools, but worry about major labels copyrighting AI music and cutting out artists.

Independent artists realize their voices are louder when they unite across disciplines to push back against AI exploitation of their work.

The FTC hosted a roundtable bringing together creatives from diverse industries to discuss AI's threats and opportunities. Artists raised concerns about consent and copyright.

While AI tools may assist artists, the FTC emphasizes creativity requires human input. Humans, not AI, make art.
