Sonilo and Musical AI Partner to Track AI Music Attribution

Sonilo, the generative audio company building video-native music and sound models, has partnered with Musical AI, an AI music attribution and rights management technology.

Why it matters:

• The partnership aims to address the challenge of identifying how individual recordings and compositions influence AI-generated outputs, helping ensure that artists, songwriters, and rightsholders are properly attributed and compensated when their music contributes to such material.

How it works:

• Sonilo generates music and sound effects directly from video footage, text, or both, using models built around licensed source material.

• Musical AI’s technology will analyze Sonilo’s generated outputs and measure how licensed recordings and compositions contributed to each one.

• Sonilo’s licensing partners will then have the data needed to account for usage and support compensation for the songwriters, artists, and rightsholders behind the original music.

What they said:

• Sean Power, CEO of Musical AI: “AI music has enormous potential, but that potential depends on building a system that respects the creators behind it. Sonilo recognizes that licensing is only part of the equation. Rightsholders also need visibility into how their work contributes to generated music. Together, we're helping demonstrate how attribution can support a more transparent and sustainable model for the industry.”
