## Summary

IFPI chief executive Victoria Oakley says the music industry needs coordinated action to manage AI and streaming fraud while protecting creators and the business model. The organisation has introduced initiatives to identify AI-generated songs on streaming services, exclude them from its international charts and tackle fraudulent streams.

Oakley, who took the role in April 2024 after working in British diplomacy and corporate consulting, argues that governments need a better understanding of how music and its revenues work. She says record labels have moved towards licensing AI uses, but warns that some proposals, including a debate in Australia, could weaken copyright protections. IFPI traditionally focuses on lobbying and industry support, and Oakley says collaboration is needed to establish safeguards while making use of AI’s creative potential.
