Austrian Music Rights Society Advocates for AI Compensation for Local Artists
The Austrian music rights society AKM is calling for compensation for AI-generated music, arguing that the global growth of the music market does not reflect the economic reality of Austrian musicians. According to AKM, international corporations and major market players benefit most from streaming platforms like Spotify, while the share of purely AI-generated music products is increasing. The organization contends that Austrian creators are not adequately compensated in this evolving landscape.
