At Epidemic Sound, human creativity will always come first. We believe in artists, their power to move people, to change the world. We believe in content creators, their ability to inspire, to galvanize.
We only have human-created music on our platform. We do not have any Ai-generated music.
That doesn’t mean we don’t believe in the transformative effects of technology, though. In fact, we embrace it — we’ve built our platform for content creators on technology, after all.
But in a world where AI dominates headlines and redefines norms, human talent will always lie at the core of our business. Technology is not a talent. Technology is a tool to empower talent.
Epidemic Sound was founded on a belief that music licensing should be simple and fair. In launching and honing that solution, we’ve utilized our two superpowers — music and technology — and focused on empowering, not hindering, two creative groups: artists and content creators.
Our commitments in the AI paradigm
1. Human creativity will always transcend technology
We will always invest in music from human artists, working directly with them as our primary focus. Human creativity can be supercharged by technology, but never replaced.
2. AI music must provide another revenue stream for artists
While we deeply believe in the power of AI to enhance creativity, our commitment remains to music made by real artists and ensuring that the value of human creativity is both recognized and rewarded appropriately, and continue to develop our remuneration model for artists to reflect that.
3. AI tools must address genuine user needs
Our vision is to create the world’s best soundtracking platform. That means we will stay laser-focused on user needs, developing further AI-powered music discovery features and adaptive tools that solve real problems for content creators.
