  SPEAKER_00: Today we're diving into the waters of artificial intelligence generated music and the ripples it's causing in the streaming industry.
• 0:09
  SPEAKER_00: Our Soul Story today focuses on Tidle's bold new policy regarding royalties on artificial intelligence generated music.
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_00: Buckle up as we explore what this means for artists and listeners alike.
• 0:21
  SPEAKER_00: Tidle has recently charted a new course in the turbulent sea of artificial intelligence generated music.
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_00: The streaming platform announced that it won't be paying royalties on tracks that are completely created by artificial intelligence, starting today.
• 0:36
  SPEAKER_00: Instead of flat out banning artificial intelligence music, like one would ground a rogue aircraft, Title will label these fully artificial intelligence generated tracks, with an icon beginning July 15th.
• 0:49
  SPEAKER_00: This is a significant pivot, as the platform prioritizes ensuring that royalties go to original works produced, written, and performed by actual humans.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_00: I mean come on folks, it's not like we want rogue autopilots taking over the cockpit, do we?
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_00: Now this decision comes with a clear message from Title.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_00: They want to protect artists and inform listeners.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_00: The company stated, quote, We will therefore not knowingly attribute royalties to music we identify as wholly artificial intelligence generated.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: But here's where it gets intriguing.
• 1:25
  SPEAKER_00: Title hasn't revealed the specific tools or algorithms it plans to use for identifying artificial intelligence generated music.
• 1:33
  SPEAKER_00: Buckle up, we're entering turbulent skies.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_00: As technology advances, they aim to expand this labeling to include uploads that are substantially artificial intelligence generated.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: This could open a Pandora's box of ethical dilemmas in the music industry and not the good kind of turbulence folks, more like a mid-air emergency.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, we're entering clear skies now.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_00: Feel free to remove your seatbelt and roam around a little.
• 2:00
  SPEAKER_00: In an interesting turn of events, Tidle is also setting expectations for content distributors, asserting that they must accurately label any artificial intelligence generated music.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_00: Starting mid-July, Tidle plans to remove or block artificial intelligence generated tracks that are linked to fraudulent activity, such as deceptive practices or unusual streaming behavior.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_00: Sounds like they're preparing to keep the skies clear from any turbulence caused by unscrupulous artificial intelligence use.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_00: No one wants to fly into a storm caused by some shady algorithms, right?
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: As we navigate through these changes, it's important to note that Tido's competitors, like Spotify and Deezer, are already implementing measures of their own.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: Spotify has introduced a verification program for artists, while Deezer has developed tools to detect fully artificial intelligence-generated music.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: The competition is heating up, and it seems like everyone is scrambling to find the right balance between innovation and authenticity.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_00: It's like watching a group of planes trying to land in a crowded airport.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_00: Everyone's got to stay in their lanes.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: So what does this mean for the future of music?
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_00: The landscape is clearly shifting, and as we see more artificial intelligence integration in creative fields, artists may need to adapt or risk being left behind.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_00: My take?
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_00: It feels like we're on the brink of a cockpit revolution.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: Either join the flight or get grounded.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_00: It's a brave new world out there, and it's shaping up to be quite a ride.
• 3:33
  SPEAKER_00: I've added links to all the products mentioned in this episode down in the show notes.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_00: If you use those links, it's a small way to support the show, and it means a lot to me.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_00: Until next time, keep creating, keep adapting, and remember, the future doesn't wait for permission.
