Artists, Rights, and the Future of Creative Collaboration are the Highlights of the Launch of iMused.ai as the First Ethical AI Music Platform
iMused.ai has officially launched as the first ethical AI music platform, built to safeguard artists while transforming how music is created and monetized. Developed by the social impact venture 144K Collective in partnership with 9th Ward Production and Promotions Company, the platform is designed to protect, credit, and pay musicians whenever their creative DNA helps generate new tracks, setting a groundbreaking precedent for AI-powered music and copyright compliance.
The launch comes at a critical time, as the industry faces growing concerns over artists losing ownership, control, and compensation when AI tools replicate their work without permission. Unlike these models, iMused.ai prioritizes fairness and transparency, ensuring that artists remain at the center of innovation, not sidelined by it.
At the core of iMused.ai is its Musical DNA Technology™, which captures and analyzes the unique creative fingerprints of artists-their voices, harmonies, lyrics, and chord progressions-across more than a dozen dimensions. With this technology, the platform allows creators to produce fully finished, studio-quality songs in as little as three minutes while maintaining both originality and authenticity.
What makes iMused.ai distinct is its commitment to valuing artists as collaborators, not just as data inputs. Musicians whose creative DNA inspires new songs automatically receive royalty splits and official co-producer credits, giving them both financial rewards and artistic recognition. By requiring compliance with Performing Rights Organizations, public attribution through ledger systems, and rigorous industry standards, iMused.ai also ensures that every work produced is transparent, traceable, and legally protected.
Bridging the gap between human creativity and machine-assisted creation, iMused.ai is more than simply an AI tool; it encourages active cooperation between artists, producers, and even fans. The platform works fluidly across AI and traditional workflows, making it possible to co-create while upholding rights management and ethical safeguards.
As a flagship initiative of the 144K Collective and 9th Ward, iMused.ai reflects a larger social mission. Ninety percent of profits are reinvested into community initiatives, embodying a purpose-driven model that prioritizes impact over conventional profit sharing. This aligns with the organizations’ broader vision of using innovation to serve people and communities first.
Jay Davis, the founder of the 144K Collective, said, “We want to empower artists, protect art, and allow creators to innovate without compromising.” We’re shaping a future where AI-driven production is not only practical and profitable but also fair.”
Ultimately, iMused.ai represents more than faster music production—it signals a new creative economy for the AI era. The site opens the door for a more sustainable, open, and cooperative music industry by guaranteeing that each artist gets compensated, acknowledged, and valued.
