🔍 Sony Will Expose AI Plagiarism
Japanese conglomerate Sony Group has developed a technology capable of “x‑raying” AI‑generated music to detect traces of original works inside it.
This means songwriters will be able to see exactly whose hits an AI model was trained on and demand compensation.
The system can quantify each artist’s contribution, producing results like: “this track is 30% The Beatles and 10% Queen.”
Sony can either connect directly to an AI developer’s training database (if access is granted) or run a comparative analysis of a finished audio file against an existing music library.
For Sony, this is a matter of huge money: the company owns major labels and controls roughly half of Michael Jackson’s catalogue. In an era of booming AI covers that mimic stars’ voices, such digital forensics is set to become a key tool for protecting copyright in the music industry.
