What to know

  • Sony Music becomes the first music company to join ARIAM, a coalition of media, technology, and publishing leaders founded in June 2026 to shape responsible AI policy.
  • The coalition advocates for legal frameworks that protect creators and consumers while supporting innovation, with emphasis on licensing arrangements between AI companies and rightsholders.
  • Sony's membership reflects the music industry's central role in AI policy debates, as the company continues litigation against AI music generators over unauthorized training on copyrighted recordings.

“Sony Music Group has an unwavering commitment to protecting music, and we see every day how art inspires, shapes culture and powers this industry and more. We wholeheartedly share ARIAM's view that a healthy licensing environment, where responsible AI companies proactively partner with rightsholders, is the only foundation for getting this right.”
