Universal Music Group has been actively advocating for copyright protection and artists' rights amidst the rise of AI over the past couple of years. Most recently, Frank Briegmann, the Chairman & CEO of Universal Music Central Europe and Deutsche Grammophon, delivered a powerful message in a panel discussion at the World Economic Forum in Davos on the importance of copyright protection and opposed any text and data mining exceptions in copyright law. Briegmann highlighted the need for strong copyright legislation to safeguard the rights of creators and prevent the erosion of the value of their work, echoing UMG's ongoing efforts to protect intellectual property in the face of AI advancements.
