SoundCloud Discounts on AI Related to Usage

SoundCloud says it reviews its terms after Widespread reaction Above a clause related to the training of AI model.

Earlier this year SoundCloud quietly updated his Use policiesAdding a formulation that many users interpret as a legitimate coverage to allow the company to train AI on an audio uploaded on its platform. SoundCloud quickly claims that he did not develop AI by using the content of its users, but the company’s PR statement did not pay fears that SoundCloud could do so in the future.

On Wednesday, SoundCloud CEO Elijah Seton published an Open letter Acknowledging that the formulation of changes in the company “is too wide and not clear enough.” The updates were intended to focus on other AI applications internally in the company, Seton said – including recommendations and tools to help prevent fraud – but missed the sign.

SoundCloud has already reworked its terms “to become absolutely clear (that) SoundCloud will not use (user) content to train generative models of AI that aim to replicate or synthesize (A) voice, music or likeness,” Seton said.
