A thrilling, new era for music creation blossoms from affordable tools, ground-breaking advancements in technology, and the emergent "creator culture.” A fast growing number of consumers desire greater control over entertainment experiences—the ability to create, share, and consume at rapid speed. AI-generated music, seen more as an artistic experiment rather than a profit-generating venture, expands rapidly, with AI tools giving novices unprecedented capacity to experiment competently. Simultaneously, AI tools present a vast swath of enhancements and time-saving capabilities for professionals and established creators alike. The super bloom of tools and crude AI creations underscores the need for superior voice filters and an authentication system to validate AI voice use.

Assistive AI, already woven into the fabric of music creation, paves the way for consumer adoption through more user-friendly interfaces, offering entertainment and saving creators time. AI technologies such as OpenAI's ChatGPT and Jukebox, Google's MusicLM, and Microsoft's AI-powered Bing, trained on vast datasets, lack transparency and creator consent. It remains crucial to build upon a consent-based foundation, ensuring copyrighted works utilized for AI training receive proper approval, licensing, and transparent documentation. As legal frameworks lag, the burden will fall on private entities, user communities, and developers to blaze paths for AI tools to be ethically trained, capable of clear attribution, and properly remunerative. As we enter the age of multiplayer creativity, an opportunity arises to rethink the way licensing works and match it with digital technology that protects creators, ushering in hive IP as the dominant structure.

The integration of AI-powered creator tools is expanding the total addressable market (TAM) for the creator-tools and services sector in previously unimaginable ways. While the music industry as a whole is growing rapidly (expected to reach a $131B valuation by 2030), that expansion has traditionally been driven by royalties derived from sales and consumption, as well as the purchase of live tickets. The creator tools and services market (valued at $3.85b in 2021) stands to become the dominant frontier for consumer interaction with music. Platforms like Splice have 4m monthly users (up from 2.5m as of 2021) paying subscriptions to access tools, sounds, and educational content. 36% of the nearly 6.4m self-releasing artists (logged by MIDiA in 2022) consider themselves enthusiasts. These enthusiasts, who do not rely on music for income, spend 8% more annually on music-making tools and marketing than career aspirants, making them a valuable revenue generator for the creator tools industry. While Epic Games plans to share 40% of Fortnite purchase revenue with eligible ‘island’ creators, highlighting an opportunity for artists who build their own islands in Fortnite. Games like Fortnite and Roblox also provide new environments for engaging with and sharing music, expanding the consumption and creation ecosystems rapidly over the last five years. We stand at the dawn of an entirely new era in music, as the dominant paradigm expands to include creation rather than consumption alone.

The current music landscape is endlessly cluttered and has largely failed both consumers and professional artists. Algorithm curation, streaming fraud, and a staggering volume of uploaded music to DSPs forms an ecosystem that serves no one. A large proportion of tracks on platforms such as Spotify are receiving minimal streams, with statistics showing that 42% get fewer than 10 streams and 24% receive zero streams. Further complicating the landscape is the issue of streaming fraud, which accounts for approximately 10% of streams, resulting in an annual loss of $1.75 billion. TikTok drives current hits, but also breeds derivative content that isn’t properly licensed. The resurgence of sampling as a popular method for music creation combined with the proliferation of nascent AI music production tools further complicates the copyright issues besieging the music industry. While governments and international law making bodies debate the legal frameworks for training LLM’s and commercially exploiting AI products, no consensus has been reached, leaving an explosion of new companies without cogent guidance.

• Artistic Intelligence = Personalized AI x Attribution Engine
• Artistic Intelligence is a new paradigm in creativity. Moving beyond the Artificial, AI allows creators to train a personal multi-modal model that represents their core values and aesthetics as an artist. This model can be used to generate infinite permutations of creative output, collaborate and engage with external actors or other AIs. Welcome to the future of multiplayer, exponential creativity.

MONETIZE

A protocol for managing music IP rights underlies our music technology. We propose a technological advancement that revolutionizes the traditional understanding of digital content, such as music, by leveraging the capabilities of generative AI. Instead of viewing music as static information, we present it as a dynamic, self-contained entity, akin to a seed growing into a tree. This seed, once planted, can grow and flourish anywhere in the world. Its original planter controls its growth, independent of the soil or environment it uses.

Generative AI, particularly large language models (LLMs) trained on data owned by traditional music industry rights holders, is the key to transforming music into this dynamic entity. It allows each piece of content to encapsulate its own implementation of its access policy, independent of the application used to experience it. This "smart-content" is the seed itself, powered by generative AI, growing into a unique tree of content.

Expanding the definition of digital content through creator-controlled smart contracts and reimagining distribution with blockchain-based, peer-to-peer, pay-for-access micro-transactions allows any streaming platform to instantly authenticate and access digital content. The generative AI then executes an instant micropayment based on creator-specified terms and streams the experience to consumers.

In this way, generative AI makes music a dynamic evolving experience that transforms the way we interact with and consume music. It's like planting a seed from an apple and growing a new tree, creating new IP from existing IP, while still respecting the rights of the original creator. Our protocol focuses on these core components:

• Consent, Control, Creation, Credit, Compensation
• Rights Management
• Compulsory licensing framework for:
• Primary Recordings
• Derivative Works
• NIL
• Attribution Engine
• Distribution

Diverse companies currently populate the generative AI music market, engaging in tasks that range from voice cloning to music production and integrated music features. Foundational elements like consent, control, creation, credit, and compensation must underpin any companies approach to ensure longterm success.

The key to unlocking new methods of monetization and enabling novel experiences for creators and fans lies in the development of systems and tools that facilitate the distribution of generative AI music to streaming platforms and marketplaces.

Rights management forms a crucial part of this system, including a compulsory licensing framework for primary recordings, derivative works, and NIL (name, image, and likeness), bolstered by an attribution engine that ensures proper credit.

Coupling these tools with payment rail mechanisms guarantees fair compensation to rights-holders who have contributed their data to train the generative models. Our proactive approach will pioneer the development of these systems and tools, creating a win-win situation for all stakeholders in the generative AI music ecosystem.
