ALAI Resolution on artificial intelligence and copyright

AI training and copyright

Can AI be trained on protected works?

Only with permission or pay

Training needs rightholders' authorisation, with transparency upstream and downstream

What it says

Following its 2023 Paris Congress, ALAI resolved that authors' and performers' exclusive rights apply to AI, so authorisation is needed, and called for transparency both upstream (telling rightholders when their works enter training) and downstream (telling users how an output was produced). In May 2025 ALAI's Executive Bureau endorsed the US Copyright Office's Part 3 report.

The international authors' rights association insists on consent and disclosure.
