Sony Develops Technology to Track Original Songs Amid AI Boom
In a rapidly evolving digital landscape, Sony is taking a proactive step to protect artists’ rights in the face of AI-generated music. The company has unveiled a new technology designed to ensure composers receive appropriate compensation for their work used in training artificial intelligence models. This development underscores a growing concern within the music industry about the potential for copyright infringement as AI tools become more sophisticated.
How the New Technology Works
Leveraging techniques in unlearning machine learning, Sony’s system can now attribute songs to the AI datasets they helped train. The model, built on a library of 115,000 high-quality tracks, identifies specific influences within AI-generated compositions, offering a new approach to recognizing artistic contributions. This capability allows for the tracing of what the company calls the creative DNA within AI-created music.
Industry Concerns and Sony’s Response
The music industry is on high alert, with Sony Music having warned over 700 companies about the unauthorized leverage of its catalog in AI training. Artists like Harry Styles and Beyoncé are among those whose work the company is actively protecting. The challenge, as many see it, lies in finding a balance between fostering innovation and safeguarding intellectual property rights.
Beyond attribution, Sony AI is also focused on identifying musical relationships and evaluating the resilience of audio watermarks. The company is collaborating with other record labels to license AI music creation services, aiming to create opportunities while preserving the intellectual property of artists. This move signals a broader industry effort to establish clear guidelines for the use of copyrighted material in the age of generative AI.
Implications and the Future of AI in Music
When cooperation is established, Sony can connect the tracking tool directly to the AI model for more precise data. Otherwise, the system estimates by comparing the generated music to existing works. The development of this technology comes as the AI sector faces increasing scrutiny over the ethical and legal implications of using copyrighted data for training purposes.
According to Sony AI, established in April 2020, the company is dedicated to groundbreaking research in AI and robotics within the entertainment realm. The company’s work reflects a growing trend of tech giants investing in solutions that address the challenges posed by AI-driven content creation.
In Times Brasil, it is believed that Sony’s advancement represents a significant step toward a more equitable digital environment. While the technology may present some challenges, the prospect of a world where artists and machines coexist harmoniously is an exciting one.
