Associação Brasileira da Música Independente (ABMI), Asociación de sellos independientes de Argentina (ASIAr), Asociación Gremial Industria Musical Independiente de Chile (IMICHILE), and Asociación de la Música Independiente del Paraguay (AMI-PY) have joined the JusticIA coalition.
The four trade associations collectively represent over 200 independent music businesses across Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Paraguay. They are joining a cross-sectoral call of 40 creative organizations to governments, technology companies, and industry leaders to protect and preserve the intellectual property rights of authors, artists, producers, and publishers.
In a joint declaration published at the end of August, the JusticIA coalition recognizes the great potential offered by AI and highlights that many of its members have already begun collaborating with responsible AI companies to support effective licensing models that respect creators’ copyright. For example, Merlin, the digital music licensing partner for independent record labels and distributors, recently announced a deal with ElevenLabs, a company dedicated to text-to-speech conversion and voice generation.
JusticIA calls for transparency from generative AI providers, including accurate and appropriate record-keeping and disclosure of the materials used to develop their models, as well as proper labeling of AI-generated content. This is in line with the WIN Principles for Generative AI, published by WIN in 2024. WIN, which brings together 37 trade associations from five continents representing more than 8,000 music companies, has also joined the coalition.
With the recent announcement of licensing agreements between AI companies and rights holders, and the signing of multi-million dollar settlements as part of ongoing litigation, the tide is turning toward responsible AI development. WIN is proud to join the JusticIA coalition, whose positions align with those of our “Principles for Generative AI”: transparency, consent, and fair compensation for creators.
Noemí Planas, WIN CEO
Earlier this year, we welcomed the Senate bill on AI as a significant step toward a sustainable licensing framework. With the bill now moving through the House of Representatives, we believe JusticIA can serve as a strong regional impetus to keep the legislative process moving in a direction that protects Brazil’s creative economy.
Felippe Llerena, President of ABMI
Chile is taking important steps toward regulating AI, and we recognize the value of legislative action in this field. Yet more must be done to ensure creators are not left behind. We urge policymakers to respect the key fair principles put forward by JusticIA and reject any proposal that could diminish the value of our cultural and creative industries.
Francisca Sandoval, President of IMICHILE
ASIAr is actively committed to this initiative. We believe in the power of technology and its responsible use as a fundamental ally in strengthening the rights of artists and creators, respecting the inimitable value of art and human expression. Respecting key principles such as consent for use and proper attribution and labeling of content is essential for a virtuous circle that benefits and enhances the entire ecosystem.
Cecilia Crespo, General Manager of ASIAr
In countries like Paraguay, where AI legislation is still at an early stage, regional cooperation is essential. The JusticIA coalition and its declaration offer a clear and inclusive framework that policymakers can use to design measures that protect creators and promote ethical AI, ensuring technology and artistry not only co-exist but advance together.
Mark Meyer, Vice President of AMI Paraguay
La Associação Brasileira da Música Independente (ABMI), la Asociación de Sellos Independientes de Argentina (ASIAr), la Asociación Gremial Industria Musical Independiente de Chile (IMICHILE) y la Asociación de la Música Independiente del Paraguay (AMI-PY) se han unido a la coalición JusticIA.
Las cuatro asociaciones sectoriales representan en conjunto a más de 200 empresas independientes de música de Argentina, Brasil, Chile y Paraguay. Se suman a una petición intersectorial de 40 organizaciones creativas dirigida a gobiernos, empresas tecnológicas y líderes del sector para proteger y preservar los derechos de propiedad intelectual de autores, artistas, productores y editores.
En una declaración conjunta publicada a finales de agosto, la coalición JusticIA reconoce el gran potencial que ofrece la IA y destaca que muchos de sus miembros ya han comenzado a colaborar con empresas de IA responsables para impulsar modelos de licencia eficaces que respeten los derechos de autor de los creadores. Por ejemplo, Merlin, la entidad que gestiona las licencias de música digital para sellos discográficos y distribuidores independientes, anunció recientemente un acuerdo con ElevenLabs, una empresa dedicada a la conversión de texto a voz y la generación de voz por IA.
JusticIA exige transparencia a los proveedores de IA generativa, lo que incluye el mantenimiento de registros precisos y adecuados y la divulgación de los materiales utilizados para desarrollar sus modelos, así como el etiquetado adecuado del contenido generado por IA. Esto está alineado con los Principios de WIN para la IA generativa, publicados en 2024. WIN, que agrupa a 37 asociaciones de cinco continentes que representan a más de 8000 empresas musicales, también se ha sumado a la coalición.
A Associação Brasileira da Música Independente (ABMI), a Asociación de sellos independientes de Argentina (ASIAr), a Asociación Gremial Industria Musical Independiente de Chile (IMICHILE) e a Asociación de la Música Independiente del Paraguay (AMI-PY) aderiram à coalizão JusticIA.
As quatro associações comerciais representam, em conjunto, mais de 200 empresas de música independente na Argentina, Brasil, Chile e Paraguai. Elas se unem a um chamado intersetorial de 40 organizações criativas dirigido a governos, empresas de tecnologia e líderes da indústria, para proteger e preservar os direitos de propriedade intelectual de autores, artistas, produtores e editoras.
Em uma declaração conjunta publicada no final de agosto, a coalizão JusticIA reconhece o grande potencial oferecido pela IA e destaca que muitos de seus membros já iniciaram colaborações com empresas de IA responsáveis, apoiando modelos de licenciamento eficazes que respeitem os direitos autorais dos criadores. Por exemplo, a Merlin, parceira de licenciamento digital de gravadoras e distribuidoras independentes, anunciou recentemente um acordo com a ElevenLabs, empresa dedicada à conversão de texto em fala e à geração de voz.
A JusticIA defende a transparência por parte dos provedores de IA generativa, incluindo registros e divulgações adequados sobre os materiais utilizados no desenvolvimento de seus modelos, bem como a rotulagem apropriada de conteúdos gerados por IA. Essa diretriz está em consonância com os Princípios da WIN para IA Generativa, publicados pela WIN em 2024. A WIN, que reúne 37 associações comerciais de cinco continentes representando mais de 8.000 empresas de música, também aderiu à coalizão.
