GEMA has published a comprehensive AI charter featuring 10 key principles for responsible use of generative artificial intelligence. This initiative follows their recent announcement of a licensing framework for AI-generated music.

The charter's core principles include:

1. Prioritizing human wellbeing in AI development and deployment

2. Protecting intellectual property rights

3. Ensuring fair compensation for creators, including:

   • Payment for AI model training
   • Ongoing royalties from derivative works
   • Revenue sharing from AI-generated content exploitation
   • Recognition of original creators' contributions to synthetic data

4. Maintaining transparency in AI training processes

5. Protecting against unauthorized soundalike works

6. Compliance with EU regulations for AI systems

7. Mandatory collective negotiations between major AI companies and rightsholders

The principles emphasize the importance of balancing technological advancement with creator rights and fair compensation. GEMA's framework specifically addresses the economic advantages gained through AI-generated content, including subscription income and exploitation through various platforms.

The charter serves as a guideline for responsible AI implementation rather than a detailed policy document, focusing on protecting creator rights while embracing technological innovation.
