Sony Group Corp has developed technology to identify the original source of music generated by artificial intelligence in a bid to protect the rights of creators, amid growing concern about the unauthorized use of copyrighted works in AI training.
With the new technology, composers, songwriters and publishers will be able to demand compensation from AI developers for the unauthorized use of their works, according to Sony Group.
Sony's technology can extract data from an underlying AI model and compare generated music with its original sources, quantifying their contribution to facilitate the collection of revenues.
A spokesperson for the entertainment unit of the Japanese electronics group said, "We want to contribute to creating a system in which creators are properly compensated."
Groupwide efforts to protect content have become increasingly prominent, with Sony Music Entertainment in the United States suing a company for copyright infringement in 2024 in connection with the use of AI to generate music.

OK... so now the question is; how well does it actually work? Can, in a court of law, Sony's technology be used as proof of infringement? Sony developed this software to protect its own music catalog which is estimated to be worth $25 Billion. With music by artists like, Michael Jackson, Queen, Bruce Springsteen and many more.

I have notice a lot of video content driven by AI. It easy to pick out by the dialogue. Not so much the video glitches nor the voice patent but the context of the monolog. It like the presenter has under gone an intellectual enlightenment overnight. And this is what I pick up on the long drawn out very accurate deliveries of content. My brain seek the shortest way to delivery an idea ,an assumption an excuse or valuation. Eg. Like it all B S. Or Yeah Nah companied with a short reason facts.. Most intellect with give an example then accompany this with a precise reasoning and Facts. . AI just give a paragraph long monolog of reasoning facts. The average brain doesn't work in that capacity. But with music I have not been able to pick what is AI driven.

Yes. Some weird stuff out there that is definitely not human ;)

I'm guessing that the AI tools can be trained to stay just within the legally allowed parameters, and that the technology inside the "Police bots" will actually help facilitate this.
The bigger question is: when will AI-generated content not suck?
