(Nashville, Tennessee…) – September 16, 2024 – Humanable™ presents the solution to the Generative AI’s disruption of the music ecosystem, and the patent-pending, artist-first platform has launched as of Tuesday, September 17, 2024 during AMERICANAFEST. An overall sponsor for the week, Humanable is hosting its launch party at Nashville’s famed Santa’s Pub and introducing the service to AMERICANAFEST attendees and to the world. Santa's Ice Cold Pickers will be joined by an incredible lineup of Humanable artists from 7 p.m. to midnight. A Silver or Festival pass is required for entry.
“Songs created using generative artificial intelligence (AI) pose an existential challenge to the profession of songwriting. While the Nashville Songwriters Association International (NSAI) is working on legislative solutions and litigation to put guardrails around the technology, Humanable represents a marketplace approach where creators can attest that their songs and compositions come from 100% human effort. Humanable is an important tool as creators try to navigate ensured compensation in the era of generative AI technology,” said Bart Herbison, Executive Director of Nashville Songwriters Association International.
Humanable has built an industry-wide standard benefiting human creators, record companies, studios, publishers, musicians, and platforms by certifying human-created music, so fans can choose authentic music. The solution, which can be found at www.humanable.com, enables music creators to designate under oath that all elements of a song were created without using Generative AI (GenAI). Humanable will certify new and previously recorded music, preventing GenAI from further complicating licensing and royalties and reducing the risk of fraud for platforms.
Once a song is certified, and platforms adopt the HUMANABLE standard, fans will know it was created without GenAI thanks to the easily-recognizable HUMANABLE “H pick” icon, giving fans confidence they are enjoying authentically-human art.
“Humanable gives fans confidence that they are listening to real humans and the humans they love,” said London-educated playwright, Humanable Co-founder, and Chief Human, Lili McGrady. “GenAI is getting so good, some fans may not know the difference between human music and computer-generated files. We hope to drive confusion from the marketplace and preserve the heart in music and the integrity of the creative process, so consumers can be confident they’re listening to and following actual humans.”
The service will employ a $1.00 per-song charge to certify a song on the Humanable platform by an artist designating that all elements of the song were created without the use of GenAI. A $6.95 monthly membership will provide ongoing benefits such as the ability to use the Humanable family of marks on artists’ promotional materials and cover the costs to enhance the user trust through Humanable’s randomized and targeted auditing processes to confirm the lack of GenAI in the creation of the music.
The New York Times recently reported a North Carolina man used artificial intelligence to create hundreds of thousands of fake songs by fake bands, uploaded them to streaming services where they were enjoyed by an audience of fake listeners, and collected $10 million from digital service providers. This type of fraud incentivizes all distribution platforms to quickly adopt the Humanable-branded toggle, enabling listeners to easily filter human-made music from files created by a computer.
“There is no substitute for human-created art, whether it’s music, painting, sculpture, poetry, photography or anything else,” said Lili McGrady summing up Humanable. “We want to ensure a future for the arts by making sure people are not confused about what they’re listening to.”
