🎶 What’s New in AI Music?

Musical AI and Beatoven.ai Join Forces to Launch Licensed AI Music Platform (more)
Musical AI (formerly Somms AI), a rights management platform for AI and Beatoven.ai, an AI music generator have announced their partnership to create the sector's first fully licensed generative AI platform that incorporates copyrighted music. This pioneering initiative promises to reshape how AI-generated music intersects with traditional music licensing and rights management.

The platform, scheduled for launch in the latter half of 2025, will leverage an extensive library of over three million musical assets, including complete songs, loops, samples, and sound elements. At its core, Musical AI's attribution technology will ensure transparent tracking and compensation for rights holders whenever their work contributes to new AI-generated content.

A key innovation of this partnership is its revenue-sharing model, which mirrors the compensation structure of established streaming platforms. Rights holders will receive a portion of the platform's revenue through Musical AI's comprehensive system of data licensing and attribution tracking.

This collaboration represents a potential watershed moment for the music industry, demonstrating that generative AI can operate within existing legal frameworks while maintaining commercial viability and ensuring fair compensation for original artists and content creators.

💡 Exciting Technology

AI-Generated Music on Spotify? It´s already happening (more)
AI-generated music is rapidly shaping the future of the music industry, and platforms like Spotify are embracing the change. In a 2023 interview with the BBC, Spotify’s founder, Daniel Ek, addressed the growing presence of AI-created tracks on the platform. Ek emphasized that while AI music presents exciting opportunities, it also raises complex questions about authenticity, creativity, and intellectual property.

Spotify already hosts numerous AI-generated songs, some of which have gained traction with listeners worldwide with thousands of listens. This shift highlights the growing consumption of AI music for the wider public, enabling artists and hobbyists alike to produce and share tracks that resonate. Platforms like Spotify play a critical role in bridging this innovation with audiences, marking a significant step for AI music creators.

Using our proprietary AI Music Chart, it’s evident that over 20% of the top tracks emerging from AI platforms now find a home on Spotify, showcasing their commercial potential.

As AI continues to evolve, Ek's remarks underline the importance of balancing innovation with fairness, ensuring creators, whether human or AI, are recognized and rewarded. This moment marks a transformative period for music, where technology and artistry converge like never before.

Pairing this news with Beatoven´s recent announcement starts to form a compelling journey for AI Music through 2024, setting us up for a roller coaster of a journey next year as uptake ramps up.
