Community Guidelines

Music.AI's mission is to unlock the potential of human creativity - by giving a million creative artists the opportunity to live off their art and billions of fans the opportunity to enjoy and be inspired by it. We believe achieving this mission on our platform is made possible by welcoming different forms of artistic expression, ideas, perspectives, and voices. This may mean that some content on our platform may not be to each individual's liking or is content that Music.AI endorses.

However, that doesn't mean that anything goes on our platform. In addition to the terms that you agreed to governing your use of our services, these rules help ensure that everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience.

    • audio or video recording that comes from a real and valid source that has been altered in a way that changes the meaning or context of the original media and is purported to be true, thus posing a risk of harm to the speaker or other individuals
    • audio or visual media artificially created through the use of technology that's purported to be true, such as digitally manufactured sexual audio and video content or content falsely suggesting that someone committed a crime
    • Providing instructions or instructional materials to commit an act of violent extremism
    • Soliciting an individual or group to finance, undertake an act of violent extremism, or become involved in the activities of a violent extremist group

At Music.AI, we aim to foster a realm of creative flexibility with music, but it's incumbent upon our users to ensure that music is utilized in a positive manner. In cases of misuse, Music.AI is actively developing mechanisms to differentiate between AI-generated and non-AI audio.
