Artificial intelligence is transforming every part of the music industry—from creation and distribution to copyright, licensing, protection, and monetization.

At Symphonic, we believe creators deserve choice and control.

Protect your music. Enhance your work. License your catalog responsibly. Distribute with transparency.

However you choose to engage with AI, Symphonic gives you the tools, technology, and partnerships to do it on your terms.

One platform. Your choice on AI.

Governance

Responsible AI begins with transparency.

AI Disclosures

Symphonic was among the first distributors to integrate AI disclosures directly into the release submission process, allowing clients to identify AI involvement in:

Clients can disclose AI involvement at the:

  • Sound recordings

  • Artwork

  • Contributor credits

This, combined with scanning audio to detect AI, helps creators meet evolving platform requirements while providing DSPs and listeners with greater transparency around AI use.

A form with sections for sound recording, artwork, and contributor credits—each asking about AI tool usage and showing toggles or file upload options—streamlines the Music Distribution process. AI detection scanning is enabled at the bottom to ensure transparency.

AI Tools That Empower Your Work

AI is unlocking powerful new possibilities for creators—but the same technology can also be exploited. Mass-generated content, impersonation, fraudulent uploads, and artificial streaming can create noise, divert royalties, and undermine legitimate artists and rightsholders.

Symphonic is committed to helping keep the music ecosystem trustworthy. Our Trust & Safety team combines advanced technology, data-driven detection, and human expertise to identify suspicious activity, prevent abuse, and take action against content and behavior designed to manipulate platforms or royalties.

We believe AI should empower creativity—not exploit it.

Participate in Ethical AI Licensing

Sureel AI

Through our partnership with Sureel AI, artists, labels, and managers can choose to license their recordings, compositions, and lyrics for AI training through transparent, opt-in programs.

Participants can establish permissions, understand how their music contributes to AI models, and earn licensing revenue—providing greater transparency, control, and fair compensation as AI continues to evolve.

Musical AI

Our partnership with Musical AI provides rights management and attribution infrastructure for the AI ecosystem.

The platform enables consent management, attribution, usage tracking, and transparent licensing, helping connect AI developers with licensed music while ensuring creators maintain control over how their catalogs are used.

Dataset Licensing

For creators interested in participating, Symphonic offers an optional AI Dataset Licensing program.

Enrollment is entirely opt-in and provides eligible clients with the opportunity to license their music for approved AI training initiatives built around creator consent, transparency, and fair compensation.

Protection

AI is unlocking powerful new possibilities for creators—but it can also introduce new forms of fraud, manipulation, and abuse that threaten artists, rightsholders, and the broader music ecosystem.

Symphonic’s Trust & Safety team combines advanced technology, data-driven monitoring, and human expertise to detect suspicious activity, prevent abuse, and protect legitimate creators and rightsholders.

Our approach provides ongoing protection across the areas where emerging technology can be exploited—helping keep music, royalties, and creative identities secure.

Al creates incredible opportunities-but it also creates new risks.

That’s why we’ve invested in technologies that help artists, labels, and rights holders protect their music, voices, and creative identity.

MusicShield by ArtyShield

Through our partnership with ArtyShield, Symphonic clients have access to MusicShield, a technology designed to help prevent recordings from being used to train generative Al models without permission.

MusicShield modifies the machine-perceived characteristics of audio while remaining virtually unchanged to human listeners, making tracks significantly harder for Al systems to interpret and learn from-all without impacting the listening experience.

MusicShield is available directly through SymphonicMS.
