17: Protect Me!
Description
The struggle is real: Musicians are currently trying to find a way to handle the fact that artificial intelligence companies are scraping their music from the internet to train their models...without paying for it. Rights holder on the other side want to know what music is generated by an AI so that they can proof in the future - when money should flow - which music of their catalogue was used for training purposes. I talked with two people who are currently trying to help these two parties with their programs: Syed Irfan Ali Meerza and his team developed HarmonyCloak, a software that "poisons" music so that artificial intelligence can not train with it. MatchTune claims that they have cracked the Suno's AI music generating model.
