The music sector has always embraced technological change but today stands at a critical crossroads with the rise of GenAI. The discussion between Abbas Lightwalla, Director of Global Legal Policy at IFPI, and Enzo Mazza, CEO of FIMI will examine how copyright remains a vital framework for enabling innovation, creativity and fair partnerships in the age of AI: in fact, without clear legal foundations, responsible AI development risks undermining the very culture it seeks to enhance. Topics will include safeguards against unlawful scraping of music for AI training, the need for transparency in AI model development and how the industry can embrace innovation while protecting creators’ rights.
