SoundCloud recently updated its terms of use to allow the platform to utilize audio uploaded by users for training artificial intelligence technologies. This change, noted by tech ethicist Ed Newton-Rex, raises ethical questions regarding copyright and users' consent, particularly since no obvious opt-out option is available. The update specifies that content may be used to inform or develop AI services. SoundCloud has previously showcased its commitment to ethical practices, partnering with various vendors for AI tools while affirming the importance of creators' rights.
SoundCloud's updated terms now allow the use of uploaded audio to train AI, raising critical questions about copyright and user consent.
The new terms grant permission for user content to be used to inform and train AI technologies, which could significantly impact artist rights.
Despite the revision, SoundCloud has yet to provide users with an opt-out option, which could pose ethical concerns regarding user autonomy.
As SoundCloud embraces AI, it aims to uphold creator rights while partnering with vendors to enhance its platform with AI tools.
