GoDigital Music: Adapting music rights and distribution for the generative AI era

SDGs Impacted

GoDigital Media Group is a privately held media company focused on music rights, digital distribution and intellectual property. As generative AI changes how music is created, distributed and monetised, the company has faced new risks related to unauthorised use of catalogues and artist likenesses, as well as fraudulent AI-generated submissions.

GoDigital developed tools to identify AI-generated and suspicious content before it entered the royalty pipeline. It combined this technical response with a decision-making approach that enables teams to act quickly, learn from emerging patterns and adjust detection models as new forms of misuse appear.

The company’s experience illustrates how organisations operating in rapidly changing technological environments can combine monitoring tools, distributed decision-making and continuous learning to manage emerging risks while protecting the interests of legitimate rights holders.

Impact / Outcome
GoDigital introduced tools to identify AI-generated and fraudulent submissions before they entered the royalty pipeline. The company estimates that its detection tools have filtered out approximately 95% of AI-generated royalty-farming submissions, helping protect legitimate artists and maintain the credibility of its catalogue.
Key Metrics
Approximately 95% of AI-generated royalty-farming submissions filtered, according to the company’s estimate; catalogue of more than 45,000 recordings.
