SoundExchange is thrilled to announce the development of a global AI registry for sound recording creators and rights owners! 🎶✨ Launching in the first quarter of 2025, this registry will will provide a much-needed resource for creators and rights owners to protect their rights related to the use of their content in AI models, allowing them to “reserve” those rights (if they so choose) against training by AI algorithms. The registry is an evolution of systems purpose-built by SoundExchange for the collection and distribution of recording royalties and will utilize SoundExchange’s authoritative and comprehensive international standard recording code (ISRC) database. Companies building AI training models will be able to reference the database of authorization declarations before ingesting recordings, helping to ensure appropriate permissions before capitalizing on others’ intellectual property.
