AI Policy Statement
At Steam Music, we are passionate about representing authentic music that showcases the true artistry and creativity of human expression. With the growing presence of AI in music creation, we feel it is essential to outline our stance and explain how this impacts our catalog.
We understand that AI can be a powerful tool to support and amplify human creativity. However, we do not support the creation or representation of tracks that are entirely AI-generated without human involvement.
As a company built by music lovers, we are committed to championing the work of real artists. We are privileged to receive an overwhelming number of submissions from incredibly talented creators, often exceeding what we can accommodate. This abundance of exceptional human-made music reinforces the importance of ensuring our catalog remains a true reflection of originality and human ingenuity.
In addition, AI-generated music raises complex legal challenges that we cannot ignore. Issues related to authorship, copyright ownership, and intellectual property rights create uncertainties that conflict with our promise to provide legally sound opportunities for the artists and clients we serve.
To uphold our values, we kindly request that all artists disclose whether any music you have submitted or plan to submit contains elements generated or significantly influenced by AI, especially if the work is entirely AI-generated. This transparency is essential in maintaining the integrity of our catalog and honoring our mission to represent genuine, artist-driven music.
We will also be introducing an update to our Steam Music agreement terms, which will formally address AI-generated music, to provide further clarity on this matter.
To summarize, Steam Music will not knowingly represent or promote AI-generated tracks. Our dedication to authentic, artist-created music remains unwavering, and we know that you, as part of the Steam Music community, share this commitment.
