The idea that SoundCloud now permits AI training using user-generated content is reshaping the music industry. With artists’ consent, the platform will offer access to audio tracks and metadata, enabling the development of more advanced, personalized, and creative AI tools.
This step brings important questions about data ownership, fairness, and artist compensation to the surface, while positioning SoundCloud as a leader in AI-driven innovation within the music space. It marks a bold shift toward a collaborative environment where human creativity and artificial intelligence work hand in hand.
