This “ethical AI” platform promises to pay musicians each time their music is used for AI training.

[SINGAPORE] – I’ve spent the week at the All That Matter conference in Singapore, a major gathering of music boffins from across Asia. It’s really one of the best events for learning about what’s coming up next when it comes to music, gaming, sports, content, Web 3, and marketing. More on the conference coming up.

AI was a major topic of a lot of the sessions, especially when it comes to how musicians need to be compensated when their material is used for training AI models. This theoretically could become a major source of revenue for musical creators in the not-to-distant future.

Although they weren’t at the conference, Aiode fits into this discussion. The company describes itself as an “ethical AI” platform. I quote from the press release:

“Instead of replacing musicians, Aiode built the first AI music platform where artists maintain control and get paid every time their virtual performance style is used. 

I”nstead of spitting out generic tracks, Aiode lets creators regenerate or refine specific sections with precision, like a studio punch-in while keeping their creative flow intact. During its closed beta, producers even tested Aiode inside Abbey Road Studios, exploring how AI can fit seamlessly into professional workflows.”

All training of Aiode was done with the consent of artists and is designed to be used to speed workflows in professional music-creation situations and facilities. Hey, if Abbey Road is involved…

Aiode is now live. Is this part of the future of AI and music? It’s certainly a good start.
