The collision of copyright law, music, and generative AI has sparked significant controversy, including high-profile lawsuits and nearly 10,000 submissions to the Copyright Office. This panel will explore the legal and policy challenges of applying copyright law to AI-generated music: How does training an AI model on copyrighted music actually work? What are the copyright implications of the training process? What are the real-world impacts of music generating AI and how are the stakeholders – musicians, record labels, AI platforms, and others – addressing them?
