Mission
Musical AI provides independent, API‑based attribution infrastructure that plugs into licensing agreements between rights holders and AI companies. We deliver transparent, auditable attribution, so both sides can participate in the AI era with confidence.
Vision
We envision an AI music ecosystem where rights holders and AI companies negotiate directly, train where they are, and rely on trusted attribution to ensure transparency, compliance, and fair compensation at enterprise scale.
How we support rights holders and AI companies
A Two-Sided Reality
AI companies need vast amounts of licensed music for training, but navigating individual rights clearances is complex, time-consuming, and legally risky.
Rights holders want to participate in AI revenue opportunities while maintaining control over their creative works and ensuring fair compensation for their contributions.
