Insight: Music Industry Builds Detection Tools to Track AI-Generated Tracks
End-to-end tracking, not just takedowns
Companies like Musical AI and Vermillio are creating detection systems that tag AI-generated components from core model training through to distribution, embedding flags directly in song metadata.
Vermillio’s TraceID dissects songs into stems
This tool analyzes vocals, melodies, lyrics, and more to spot even partial AI usage, enabling rights holders to detect mimicry and license before releases.
Streaming platforms are deploying detection tools
YouTube, SoundCloud, and Deezer use internal systems to flag AI tracks upon upload; Deezer reports that about 20 % of daily new uploads are fully AI-generated and plans to label them for users.
Licensing via provenance-informed royalty models
By assessing how much AI output borrows from specific artists, sometimes even before model training, platforms aim to establish upfront licensing and royalties, possibly avoiding copyright disputes later.
Artists can opt out through Do Not Train Protocols
Initiatives like Spawning AI’s DNTP let creators designate their music off-limits for training datasets, though effectiveness depends on widespread adoption and governance.
