Celeste Moy-How To Use AI To Create Copyrightable

Celeste Moy stands as a formidable guardian of music history and a visionary architect for its future. As a partner at Rimon Law and co-manager of the Estate of Sylvia Moy, she occupies a unique space in the industry: she is deeply rooted in the legendary soil of Motown yet sharply focused on the digital horizon.

Her greatness lies in her dual capacity to preserve legacy while pioneering new legal standards. She does not merely practice law; she shapes the environment in which music is made and monetized. By managing the Masterpiece Sound Studios and collaborating with organizations like the Motown Alumni Association, she ensures that the history of Detroit’s music innovation is not just remembered, but actively operationalized to educate the next generation of creators. Her work was instrumental in the passage of the Music Modernization Act, ensuring that songwriters and producers—the heartbeat of the industry—are fairly compensated in the streaming age.

This forward-thinking expertise culminates in her highly anticipated upcoming book, "How To Use AI To Create Copyrightable Music."

As Artificial Intelligence reshapes creativity, Moy’s new work promises to be the essential playbook for the modern artist. The book addresses the industry's most urgent question: How do we harness the power of AI without losing ownership of our art? Moy is expected to demystify the complex legal reality that currently dictates copyright—specifically, the requirement of "human authorship."

Rather than viewing AI as a threat, Moy’s narrative in the book frames it as a sophisticated instrument that, when wielded with human intent and significant creative input, can produce protected works. Readers can expect a masterclass on the nuances of "human-assisted" creation versus "AI-generated" content, offering a roadmap for songwriters to use these tools to enhance their workflow while ensuring their intellectual property remains securely in their hands. It is a testament to her career-long dedication to empowering creators, ensuring they remain the masters of their own inventions, no matter how the technology evolves.
