BPI Comment in response to DCMS Select Committee call urging Government to follow through on its pledge to prevent AI developers the free use of existing music, literature and works of art

30 August 2023 - Press release

Dr. Jo Twist OBE, BPI Chief Executive, said:

“We welcome the Select Committee’s call to government to be steadfast in its commitment to human artistry as AI develops.  Our world-leading creative sectors are based on phenomenal talent and on strong intellectual property that enables creativity and innovation to thrive.  While opportunities presented by AI are being embraced across the music community, it is essential that artists and rightsholders can work in partnership with technology and that policies do not allow AI to get a free ride but to always respect human creativity by seeking permission and remunerating the use of creative content.”
