SoundCloud backtracks on 'too broad' AI terms of service


SoundCloud's new terms prevent the company from using content on its platform to train generative AI without an artist's consent.

The details of the change were shared in an open letter from SoundCloud CEO Eliah Seton affirming the company's commitment to artists. We will not use Your Content to train generative AI models that aim to replicate or synthesize your voice, music, or likeness without your explicit consent, which must be affirmatively provided through an opt-in mechanism. Like most other content stored online, AI companies have scraped music without artists' consent and been fairly open about it.
