AI Music Ethics Checklist
Use this before releasing, selling, pitching, posting, or licensing an AI-assisted song.
Release Safety Check
Check every item that is true for your song. This does not replace legal advice, but it gives creators a practical safety pass before publishing.
Red Flag Rule
If the song depends on another artist’s exact voice, exact lyrics, exact melody, recognizable sample, private recording, or brand identity, stop and get permission first.

Creator Ethics Pledge
I will use AI music tools in a way that respects human creators, credits real work, avoids deception, protects voices and likenesses, and keeps my own human choices at the center of the song.
- I will not copy lyrics, melody, recordings, or performances I do not have the right to use.
- I will not clone or imitate a real person’s voice without clear permission.
- I will keep records of my own writing, edits, prompts, recordings, and production choices.
- I will be honest with listeners, clients, collaborators, and platforms when AI use matters.
- I will treat AI as an assistant, not as a replacement for artist respect.
