There is a possibility that those who registered music using artificial intelligence (AI) on music sites received copyright fees.

According to News 1 on the 24th, the Board of Audit and Inspection released the results of the audit of the 'Artificial Intelligence Preparation Status'.

The Board of Audit and Inspection analyzed the possibility of using AI among 81 people who newly entrusted more than 200 songs to the Korea Music Copyright Association in 2024, and found that 6,200 songs, 60.9% of the 8,540 songs they registered in 2024, may have been composed using AI.

However, the association reportedly did not confirm whether humans contributed creatively to music that could utilize AI and the percentage of AI contributions among all music.

According to the audit, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism announced the "Generative AI Copyright Guide" in 2023 and interpreted it as copyright being recognized only if there is a creative contribution from humans.

Accordingly, the Copyright Commission does not allow the registration of simple AI products, but only AI products containing human creative contributions are allowed to be registered, but the AI contribution rate is indicated.

The Board of Audit and Inspection said in an audit report, "The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism needs to come up with standards for processing generated artificial intelligence music applied to trust management organizations so that interests between general composers and composers using AI can be harmoniously protected."
