AI-generated music has become an increasingly common part of the music landscape. Audius supports transparent labeling of AI-generated tracks and allows creators to attribute them to artists whose styles served as inspiration, but only with those artists' consent.
For artists allowing their styles as inspiration
Opt in via the settings menu: As an artist, you can choose to be included in the list of users that AI-generated tracks can be attributed to. To do so, go to the Settings menu on the Audius website and enable the AI attribution opt-in. Only artists who have explicitly opted in will appear in the attribution dropdown for creators.
While Audius itself does not train models based on users' musical styles, the Audius API enables developers to build integrations that incorporate artist attribution. See the Audius API documentation for more information.
For users creating AI-generated music
Mark a song as AI-generated: To mark a song as generated by AI, click the AI attribution button in the advanced section of the upload form. Flip the toggle and select the artist whose style inspired your song from the dropdown list. Only artists who have opted in via their settings page will appear in this list.
By using AI attribution on Audius, you give proper credit to the artists whose styles inspired your work and help maintain transparency in the community.
Copyright considerations
Using another artist's style or work, even in an AI context, raises copyright questions worth understanding. See What is Copyright in Music? for an overview of composition and sound recording rights, and Audius Copyright Policies and Processes for how infringement is handled on the platform.
