AI Technologies
Roles Involved
How It Works
AI reconciles play counts across platforms, matches them to rights ownership splits, calculates royalties per rights holder, and flags discrepancies for human review.
What Changes
Royalty reconciliation that took months happens in days; AI catches underpayments and metadata mismatches across billions of streams.
What Stays the Same
Negotiating royalty rates, resolving ownership disputes, and managing collection society relationships remain human.
