Sony Group has developed a technology that can identify the original music used in AI-generated songs, potentially allowing songwriters to seek compensation if their work helped train AI models.

The system analyzes which artists’ tracks were used in learning and generating music, and can even estimate contribution levels. If developers cooperate, Sony can connect directly to base model systems for detailed data. Without cooperation, it compares AI-generated tracks with existing catalogs to estimate the sources.

As the AI boom fuels accusations of copyrighted music being used without permission — including songs mimicking famous singers — Sony believes this tool could support a framework where revenue from AI music is shared with original creators and help curb infringement.

Developed by Sony AI, the technology could also be applied to video, games and character content. The company has not yet announced when it will be put into practical use.
