Symphonic Partners with ArtyShield on AI Protection

Music technology and services company Symphonic has partnered with ArtyShield, an AI trust infrastructure platform that helps artists and rightsholders protect their music and voices from unauthorized AI use.

How it works:

• At the heart of the collaboration is ArtyShield’s MusicShield technology, which helps protect music before it’s released, rather than relying on detection after misuse has already occurred.

• It does so by modifying machine-perceived acoustic features in music that do not affect the listening experience but make it harder for AI systems to interpret, learn from or use the music for training.

The integration:

• Symphonic clients can now access ArtyShield directly within the Client Offerings section of SymphonicMS, making advanced AI protection tools available as part of their everyday workflow.

• They can also access ArtyShield’s broader suite of AI trust tools, such as VeriTube, VoiceShield, and VeriVoice.

• Symphonic clients can start using ArtyShield for free, with paid tiers available for expanded protection and advanced capabilities.

What they said:

• Jorge Brea, CEO of Symphonic: “The conversation around AI shouldn't begin after someone's work has already been copied or misused. MusicShield is exciting because it gives creators a practical way to protect their music before that happens. We believe AI can create tremendous opportunities for our industry, but those opportunities have to be built on consent, transparency, and respect for the people creating the music in the first place.”

• Jian Liu, Founder/CEO at ArtyShield: “MusicShield was built around a simple idea: artists deserve meaningful protection before their work becomes part of AI systems. Working with Symphonic allows us to bring that protection directly into the release workflow, making it easier for creators to safeguard their music while also giving them tools to verify authenticity and protect their voices.”
