The adaptation rights assigned to Teosto’s administration only apply to AI-related contexts. Adaptation is one key way in which music is utilised in AI services. Assigning adaptation rights to Teosto’s administration is a prerequisite for Teosto to be able to conclude comprehensive agreements with AI services concerning the use of your works.

Adaptation means that works can be used in various ways to generate AI music in generative AI services. A service can produce AI music based on text prompts, and the music thereby generated may resemble the original work to some extent. For example, different works may be combined with each other, the genre may be changed, or the user’s own lyrics may be added to works.

At present, AI music generated by 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. In such cases, separate royalties and other conditions will be agreed upon in connection with such distribution.
