The letter calls on “artificial intelligence developers, technology companies, digital music platforms and services to stop using artificial intelligence (AI) to infringe and undermine the rights of human artists.”

“Unfortunately, some platforms and developers are using AI to undermine creativity and undermine artists, songwriters, musicians and rights holders.”
