A Transparency Initiative in Music AI

Journalist Alex Reisner, working for the Atlantic, recently highlighted four music datasets used for training artificial intelligence models. These datasets, now publicly accessible, vary significantly in size and content.

Two of these datasets stand out due to their impressive scale, containing 12 million and 9 million tracks, respectively. The other two, while more modest, each contain over 100,000 songs, thus providing a significant resource for training AIs.

Usage by Tech Giants

Reisner revealed that these datasets have been downloaded thousands of times. While it is difficult to trace their precise usage, major companies like Google and Stability have confirmed their use in research papers. This underscores the importance of these data in the development of artificial intelligence technologies.

Some sources of these datasets, such as the Free Music Archive, allow free distribution for personal use, raising questions about the limits of their use in commercial contexts.
