Can AI Make Music Without Stealing?

from Thinking On Paper · host Mark Fielding and Jeremy Gilbertson

What if you could use AI to make your own music without stealing other people's beats, rhymes and melodies? Unlike platforms trained on scraped catalogs, Overtune’s AI is built on licensed music, starting with ~20,000 loops produced in-house. Producers can submit stems voluntarily, creating a clean foundation for ethical training and attribution.The platform uses vector-based audio embeddings to measure how much each stem contributes to a generated track. This enables automated attribution and proportional royalty distribution when songs are commercialized. Contributions are weighted mathematically, with clear thresholds to credit primary and secondary influences while avoiding excessive fragmentation Please enjoy the show.Cheers,Mark and JeremyPS: Subscribe so other curious minds like you can find our channel.Other ways to connect with us:⁠Listen to every podcast⁠Follow us on ⁠Instagram⁠Follow us on ⁠X⁠Follow Mark on ⁠LinkedIn⁠Follow Jeremy on ⁠LinkedIn⁠Read our ⁠Substack⁠Email: [email protected]
