AI music, bot farms and fraud โ€” why we can't tell the difference and how one Irish company is fighting it

And I think.

The Big Tech Show
AI music, bot farms and fraud โ€” why we can't tell the difference and how one Irish company is fighting it

Even if you look at the way the next generation is looking at AI-generated content today, it's just not cool.

The Big Tech Show
AI music, bot farms and fraud โ€” why we can't tell the difference and how one Irish company is fighting it

Yeah, yeah.

The Big Tech Show
AI music, bot farms and fraud โ€” why we can't tell the difference and how one Irish company is fighting it

And actually, that makes me really happy, you know, and optimistic for the future.

The Big Tech Show
AI music, bot farms and fraud โ€” why we can't tell the difference and how one Irish company is fighting it

Yeah.

The Big Tech Show
AI music, bot farms and fraud โ€” why we can't tell the difference and how one Irish company is fighting it

Because...

The Big Tech Show
AI music, bot farms and fraud โ€” why we can't tell the difference and how one Irish company is fighting it

Yeah, like there's just not a lot of uniqueness and value being generated.

The Big Tech Show
AI music, bot farms and fraud โ€” why we can't tell the difference and how one Irish company is fighting it

Like generating unique things is not really what these AI models are about.

The Big Tech Show
AI music, bot farms and fraud โ€” why we can't tell the difference and how one Irish company is fighting it

Yeah, really big issue.

The Big Tech Show
AI music, bot farms and fraud โ€” why we can't tell the difference and how one Irish company is fighting it

And actually our matching engine solution, that's one of its core roles is to kind of help identify that fraud and prevent it from taking money away from the real creators.

The Big Tech Show
AI music, bot farms and fraud โ€” why we can't tell the difference and how one Irish company is fighting it

And the way that, like the way that, so that fraud network that you talked about there, where you create an AI generated song and you set up a bot farm to listen to it,

The Big Tech Show
AI music, bot farms and fraud โ€” why we can't tell the difference and how one Irish company is fighting it

It only works if you register your musical work with a collective management organisation like the equivalent of Imro in Ireland.

The Big Tech Show
AI music, bot farms and fraud โ€” why we can't tell the difference and how one Irish company is fighting it

So and you say that you're a rights holder and that works.

So you will then start and you become a member of that organisation so you can start receiving royalties when the Spotify details come back down to the CMO and they say, OK, this

The Big Tech Show

is this musical work, this person owns 100% of the copyright, they had 10 million streams, they should get this amount of money, which would be invoiced to Spotify and then will be paid to the person.

The Big Tech Show
AI music, bot farms and fraud โ€” why we can't tell the difference and how one Irish company is fighting it

And what our system does is it looks at it, it looks at fraud from the metadata perspective at the registration of the musical work.

The Big Tech Show
AI music, bot farms and fraud โ€” why we can't tell the difference and how one Irish company is fighting it

And that's quite an effective way because there's key signals in, in work registration.

The Big Tech Show
AI music, bot farms and fraud โ€” why we can't tell the difference and how one Irish company is fighting it

Like no real human being wakes up in the morning and registers a hundred new musical works that they've created.

The Big Tech Show
AI music, bot farms and fraud โ€” why we can't tell the difference and how one Irish company is fighting it

And they typically don't do it if they've just become a member of a CMO that morning and then that afternoon start registering hundreds or thousands of musical works.

Yeah.
