A coalition of 35 creative and cultural organisations across Latin America have issued a joint statement urging governments, tech companies and industry leaders to protect the intellectual property rights of authors, artists, producers and publishers.
The coalition has launched JusticIA, an initiative spearheaded by IFPI calling on policymakers to ensure rights-holders are protected. The movement comes amid rapid advances in generative artificial intelligence.
While global cultural bodies acknowledge that AI offers huge opportunities and is being used widely across creative communities, there is a growing campaign to ensure that it should not undermine copyright.
The joint statement calls for clear and meaningful transparency obligations on all generative AI providers – an echo of the Make It Fair campaign in the UK. It means generative AI providers must keep accurate records of the materials used to develop their models and disclose those records to rights-holders with a legitimate interest.

In addition to this, distributors must also be obliged to label wholly AI-generated content, ensuring consumers are not misled.
