Your voice, your choice: an opt-out right for performers
Artificial intelligence technologies exploit performers’ work without their consent to train and generate content.
The more than 49,000 artists associated with Adami have the possibility of objecting, through their company, to the use of their work for AI training. This is known as the opt-out right.
After consultation, they expressed themselves in favor of an opt-out pronounced by Adami.
By exercising this right, Adami affirms performers’ opposition to any non-consensual use of their performances.
From now on, AI training based on sound, audiovisual and cinematographic performances by performers associated with Adami will require prior authorisation.
This decision is in line with articles L. 211-3 8° and L.122-5-3 of the French Intellectual Property Code, which govern the use of works for training purposes by allowing authors and performers to object.
“Artificial intelligence must not feed on artists’ talent without their consent. This battle is essential for the preservation of creation and performers’ rights. As it has for the past 70 years, alongside the unions, Adami continues to work to defend their interests.”

Chairman of the Board of Directors
