Stop A.I. Theft -- Protect Human Artistry

Recording Labels

Recording musicians are demanding a contract that protects human creativity from the encroachment of artificial intelligence and ensures their economic stability.

This isn’t just a negotiation for recording musicians—it’s a fight for the entire entertainment industry. Whether you work as an independent creator or in the studio, your participation is vital to ensuring a fair and sustainable future for all artists.

We, the undersigned musicians, supporters, and advocates for human artistry, stand with the American Federation of Musicians (AFM) as they continue negotiations for a successor Sound Recording Labor Agreement (SRLA).

Musicians have identified two non-negotiable priorities for the successor agreement:

AI Protections: Securing "Consent, Compensation, and Credit" to prevent the displacement of musicians by generative AI and machine learning.

Economic Security: Increasing wages and expanding access to healthcare and retirement benefits for all working musicians.

Human creativity is the engine of the entertainment industry, and it must be protected.
