IFPI urges EU countries to fully implement AI Act’s new rules
The IFPI, which represents the global recorded music industry, is pressing EU member states to fully implement the AI Act's provisions, suggesting the music sector sees the regulation as a tool to protect its interests against AI systems trained on copyrighted content.
Why this matters: Record labels want the AI Act to actually mean something. The music industry has been watching AI companies train models on copyrighted recordings and lyrics without clear permission or payment. If EU countries water down or delay implementation, those protections disappear in practice. This is a lobbying push, but the underlying issue is real: rules on paper do not protect artists if no one enforces them.
