Streaming Platform ROKK Pledges to Remove AI-Generated Tracks From Its Service
The artist-founded service introduces a human-led review, a first for streaming
Metal and rock-focused streaming platform ROKK is implementing new measures to remove AI-generated tracks from its service.
The platform:
ROKK was co-founded in January 2024 by Kamelot and Cyhra drummer Alexander Landenburg and Mentalist guitarist Peter Moog.
It claims to be “the first streaming app dedicated to rock & metal.”
No AI music:
ROKK users can now report music they believe to be AI generated.
That sets in motion a human review process to determine whether the track can remain on the platform.
As Digital Music News comments, no other streaming platform is attempting such a feat, the closest being Deezer, which recently implemented an AI tagging system to let listeners know a track might be AI generated.
While Deezer estimates 18% of music uploaded daily to the platform is now AI generated, the issue has recently come to the fore with the controversy surrounding AI-generated band The Velvet Sundown, which recently passed one million monthly Spotify listeners.
What they said:
Alexander Landenburg: “Most of us have spent decades – often the biggest part of our lives – learning, practicing, failing, sacrificing, and starting over, just to reach the point where we can create something that might be meaningful.”
“To see that reduced to something generated in seconds from a text prompt isn’t just disappointing – it’s a slap in the face to every artist who’s put their heart and soul into their craft. This must be stopped. That’s why our goal is clear: No Fully AI-Generated Music on ROKK.”
