Summary
SoundCloud has taken a proactive step by updating its terms of service following artist complaints about potential AI misuse. The platform now explicitly states it won't use user-generated content or music to train AI without explicit consent, ensuring AI models don’t replicate or mimic voices, music, or likenesses without permission. Despite these clarifications, tech ethicist Ed Newton-Rex remains cautious about the broader implications of such changes.
