Teosto’s role is to ensure that the interests of our rightholders are taken into account in licensing deals. Teosto agrees on your behalf on the relevant terms and conditions, such as where the AI music generated can be used, and royalties related to such use.

In its agreements concerning AI-related use, Teosto aims to ensure that the service provider provides reports appropriate for the purpose of distributions on the use of works in the service.

As the market is still in its emergent stage, the practices are not yet clear. At present, AI music created in many generative AI services can only be used within the service. However, it is possible that, in the future, AI music generated by the users of the services may also be distributed outside the services; for example, in social media. This requires that the matter is agreed upon in licensing deals concluded with AI services.
