In recent months, the music industry has continually called for comprehensive legislation or executive action to regulate the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in music production. Even so, the United States government has yet to propose regulations or executive measures to oversee the social and economic impacts of AI on consumer-driven industries such as music. In contrast, the European Parliament has recently developed a comprehensive plan to regulate the rapid expansion of AI technology. This Article explores the numerous impacts of emerging AI technology upon music production and examines how current legislation such as the Music Modernization Act (MMA) falls short of safeguarding the music industry from consumer confusion and copyright infringement. The United States government must follow the lead of the European Parliament and amend the MMA to effectively regulate AI within the music industry.
