SoundPatrol, UMG, and Sony Music Join Forces to Combat AI Music Piracy
SoundPatrol Inc., a pioneering research lab, has joined forces with global music giants Universal Music Group (UMG) and Sony Music to combat copyright infringement by AI music generators. The collaboration aims to safeguard artists' rights while exploring the innovative potential of AI.
SoundPatrol, co-founded by Michael Ovitz and Stanford Adjunct professor Walter De Brouwer Ph.D., specializes in large music models and neural fingerprinting. The lab's patent-pending 'forensic AI model for audio-video fingerprinting' uses neural embeddings to identify original human-created music in AI-generated content.
The technology, an advancement beyond traditional audio fingerprinting, captures semantic relationships to pinpoint covers, remixes, and generative-AI derivatives. This breakthrough will enable third-party platforms like Spotify and YouTube Music to prevent copyright violations and ensure fair compensation for artists.
Sir Lucian Grainge, UMG's Chairman and CEO, and Dennis Kooker, President, Global Digital Business, Sony Music, have both committed to protecting artists' rights. They, along with representatives from Rubenstein Communications, are available for further information.
SoundPatrol's neural fingerprinting technology marks a significant step in protecting artists' intellectual property rights. With the support of UMG and Sony Music, the lab will develop tools to help third-party platforms uphold copyright laws, ensuring artists receive fair compensation for their creative work.
