The impact of AI is now unquestionable and as such, many people including businesses are exploring its impact and how it might help improve and automate many of its workflows.
Sounded is committed to the ethical use of AI and believes that labelling content where it has been generated, edited or otherwise derided is a step in the right direction.
Where we have direct knowledge of use, whether it from assisting an authors writing, creation of their cover art, or for our own internal use, we will label and highlight the appropriate model used when content is not fully human. If we find any creative work has been generated whereby the copyright holder may have not given full permission, we will take down this content and ensure all parties are made aware of the potential infringement.
If you are affected by unethical use of AI in or of your work in any way, please do contact the team directly to discuss your concerns and we will be more than happy to investigate and address them.

Sounded is equally committed to the future of creative content being "human first".
The creative process is sacred. Artists, no matter what the medium, are always the first to be displaced when technology can. Collectively we need to decide on a sensible and pragmatic approach to rewarding creatives when AI technologies are involved, and this is the foundation of our TrueVoice™ program.
