British collecting society representing audiovisual performers’ rights.
This opt out unequivocally asserts that audiovisual performers reserve the exclusive right to authorise or refuse the reproduction of their performances for text and data mining within the EU. This sends a clear message that: AI developers may not use BECS members’ performances for training or incorporate them into AI-generated outputs without explicit permission.
