Human creativity in the age of AI music
AI:OK certifies AI tools for music and the practices behind them
New platform launching soon!
"There is nothing more important than human-to-human connection. We can't trust those connections without the cornerstones of transparency and accountability that AI:OK stands for. Only then can we rely on AI to enhance rather than diminish our ability to connect as humans."
Albhy Galuten
2 times Grammy Award winner, and producer for Eric Clapton, Dolly Parton, Barbra Streisand and the Bee Gees
What is AI:OK
The independent trustmark for responsible AI in music. Backed by Enterprise Ireland.
Why now
Labels are beginning to require that AI-made tracks come from licensed, lawful tools before they qualify for commercial treatment. Chart eligibility is already moving that way. Which raises the practical question: how would anyone know? Auditing a finished recording will not answer it. Certifying the tools that made it will.
