French music rights group opts members out of AI training over consent concerns

Sacem, a French music rights body, has announced it will opt-out members' work from AI training datasets.

The move comes amid debate in Europe over using creative works to train AI without consent.

Sacem aims to ensure fair compensation for members whose works are used in AI tools.

The group supports AI development but wants it to be more transparent and virtuous.

There is increased lobbying over AI in Europe as the EU finalizes its Artificial Intelligence Act.
