The Fiji Performing Rights Association (FIPRA) is actively engaging in discussions concerning the implications of artificial intelligence in music and its influence on copyright laws. Chair Isireli Gumatua emphasized the necessity for additional time to thoroughly assess AI-generated music before making any definitive public statements on the matter.
The board is meticulously evaluating various aspects of AI music to ensure adherence to current copyright regulations. Gumatua highlighted the board’s commitment to finding collaborative solutions that bridge AI music with original composers. One promising proposal involves integrating AI-remixed or renewed songs into the database of original composers. This integration could create new opportunities and benefits for rights holders, especially if their original works are remixed and revitalized through AI technologies.
Gumatua reiterated the board’s dedication to discovering equitable solutions that balance the interests of all parties involved while safeguarding the rights of composers and fostering innovation in the music industry. As the conversation around AI in music continues to evolve, FIPRA’s proactive approach demonstrates a commitment to adapting to new technologies while protecting artistic integrity.
