American Federation of Musicians Launches 'Human Made, Human Paid' Campaign Demanding AI Protections

The American Federation of Musicians (AFM), representing over 80,000 professional artists, has initiated an advocacy campaign called 'Human Made, Human Paid.' The union is calling on major record labels, including Universal Music Group and Sony, to incorporate AI protections and fair compensation into their Sound Recording Labor Agreement. This development highlights growing concerns within the music industry regarding the impact of artificial intelligence on human creators' livelihoods and intellectual property.
