Humanable has entered into a strategic partnership with Symphonic Distribution. Under the partnership, Humanable will certify master recordings from Symphonic artists and writers as created without the use of generative AI through the unique Humanable certification system.

The Symphonic roster will now be given the opportunity to opt-in to Humanable’s platform, which enables music creators to easily certify that their songwriting, performances or recordings were created without the use of generative AI. Once certified, the song will receive the “H pick” icon. To date, the company has already certified 3.4 million songs.

“Symphonic has always been a leader in innovations that benefit not only the artists who use their platform, but also the greater creative community, and the Humanable solution aids in this by certifying the creators as humans before release,” says Tim Wipperman, CEO of Humanable. “By certifying the songs distributed by Symphonic as GenAI-free, we can ensure that artists get full copyright protection and full royalties from their uses. We’re grateful to Jorge, Randall, and the Symphonic team for their belief in Humanable, and for their desire to offer their artists a simple, foolproof way to accomplish their goals.”

“It’s long past time for DSPs and other distributors to adopt an industry standard like Humanable to label GenAI music,” shares Randall Foster, Chief Creative Officer at Symphonic. “Consumers and music fans deserve to know whether or not what they’re listening to and paying money for has been made with the use of GenAI, and we’re glad to take the lead in the marketplace in protecting them and our artists and songwriters.”
