The All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Music of MPs and peers has launched an inquiry into Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the music industry and is inviting the public to submit evidence no later than March 15.

The inquiry will explore the positive uses and potential threats of AI to music artists and businesses.  A key aim of the probe is to build on the five principles established by industry association UK Music last year, to consider the practical, legislative solutions for the government going forward.

There is particular interest in answers to several questions, including whether music artists should be able to refuse permission for their music to be used to train AI systems, whether music created using AI should be labelled accordingly, and whether a new legal right is needed to protects artists, songwriters and others from the impact of AI-created deepfakes.

At the end of the inquiry, the APPG hopes to have a short report with practical recommendations for how the music industry and UK government should work closely together on this area in the future. Anonymised quotes from the written evidence may be used in this report.

Please send submissions (max 500 words) to hannah.mclennan@ukmusic.org by no later than Friday, 15th March 2024.
