Tech Startup RTM Audio Launches Tool to Detect AI-Generated Music

Los Angeles-headquartered music technology startup RTM Audio has launched an AI music detector called UAI.

How it works:

• As per Music Business Worldwide, UAI makes two separate assessments on each track: one on the production, the other on the vocal.

• The system flags a recording as AI only when both agree.

• When the system is uncertain, a human reviewer assesses the track.

• According to the company, each UAI verdict generates a cryptographically signed certificate attached to a track's ISRC and verifiable against a published key.

• The certificates are also designed to support disclosure requirements under the EU AI Act and can be exported in DDEX-compatible metadata formats.

• The company believes it’s the only detection vendor to issue a certificate that acts as a signed, independently verifiable record, as opposed to a confidence score.

Who’s behind it:

• Music attorney Matt Buser is a co-founder, alongside GRAMMY-nominated mastering engineer Ohad Nissim, who serves as the company’s Chief Technology Officer.

• GRAMMY-winning mix engineer Teezio is RTM’s CEO and co-founder.

• Calin Enache, founder of audio software company Mixwave, is RTM’s Chief Operating Officer and co-founder.

What they said:

• Ohad Nissim: “We mix and master this music for a living. We hear the artifacts these generators leave behind. The whole point was to build something where a human artist is never accused unless two independent systems both flag the same track, and then you get a certificate, not a confidence score.”
