SoundCloud CEO Pens Open Letter Clarifying Company’s Position On AI, Terms of Service Revision

"The language in the Terms of Use was too broad," SoundCloud CEO Eliah Seton writes on AI. "It created confusion... That’s why we’re fixing it."

In his letter, Seton repeats what SoundCloud shared in a statement last week, noting that the platform “has never used artist content to train AI models. The letter then goes on to directly address the 2024 Terms of Services changes, which were done, Seton writes, “to clarify how we may use AI internally to improve the platform for both artists and fans. Finally, he notes that the platform is “making a formal commitment that any use of AI on SoundCloud will be based on consent, transparency and artist control.”
