AI Music Outputs: Challenges to the Copyright Legal Framework

Navigating Challenges in Multimodal Music Data Management for AI Systems

“…Navigating legal frameworks raises many questions and challenges, particularly concerning music AI systems. This includes concerns about compliance with copyright laws, especially in the field of AI-generated musical content (10,14,15). Obtaining the necessary licenses for use and distribution fosters responsible content usage and advances music research without infringing on creators' rights.…”

“…Furthermore, we refer to music datasets closely connected to music processing tasks. Even though not much attention has been paid to the use and copyright of AI algorithms themselves (14), there has been a big shift in industry and research from valuing the algorithms of music creation to valuing the data being used (10). The construction, distribution, and usage of multimodal music datasets introduce intricate legal and copyright challenges that demand careful consideration.…”
