World Intellectual Property Day highlights the importance of intellectual property and related rights, especially with a view to promoting innovation and creativity.
Statement of GEMA CEO Dr Harald Heker on the occasion of World Intellectual Property Day:
„We are currently witnessing how Artificial Intelligence is finding its way into our everyday lives. Working with AI-powered software is not new to us and our members. But the rapid development of generative AI also poses new challenges for the music sector. For us, the crucial point here is that human creativity must not be exploited or made precarious. This will only be possible within a reliable regulatory framework that respects the rights of creators and protects their intellectual property.“
Background
