AIxchange

Artificial intelligence is creating new opportunities for the music industry. As these opportunities emerge, AFEM is committed to ensuring they develop within a legally sound, transparent and ethically governed framework that respects creators, rightsholders and the value of music.

Building on the AFEM AI Principles, AFEM has established a non-exclusive affiliate collaboration with AIxchange to introduce members to ethical, consent-based licensing opportunities for generative AI. The collaboration represents a practical and actionable next step in the evolving conversation around AI in music, supporting innovation while enabling members to explore new AI licensing opportunities.

AIxchange has developed scalable licensing infrastructure designed to enable sound recordings, musical compositions and related metadata to be licensed for use in generative AI systems through transparent, consent-based licensing. Its approach is centred on explicit consent, attribution and fair remuneration, helping ensure that music used within generative AI systems remains traceable, properly licensed and connected to the creators and rightsholders behind it.
