No generative AI
No AI-generated compositions, instrumentals, vocals or voice cloning. Vocoder-processed vocals are also excluded under this stricter DigiTrustly programme standard.
A dedicated certification standard for music created without generative AI. Human assessment, documented origins and a clear, publicly checkable record for approved releases.

Design preview only. The demonstration QR opens DigiTrustly verification; no AI-Free Music certificate has been issued.
The proposed standard evaluates the origin of music, not its popularity or sound quality. Applicants must be able to substantiate how their work was created.
No AI-generated compositions, instrumentals, vocals or voice cloning. Vocoder-processed vocals are also excluded under this stricter DigiTrustly programme standard.
No fake or manipulated audio fingerprints, fabricated production evidence or altered AI disclosures intended to conceal a work’s true origin.
Original recordings, project files, stems and signed declarations may be requested. A detector result alone cannot prove that music is AI-free.
Indicative annual licence prices, excluding applicable VAT. Only explicitly approved releases would be covered; new releases require the applicable evidence and review.
Proposed multi-year discounts: 10% for two years and 20% for three years. Assessment fees and the final licence terms have not been confirmed.
Submit artist or label details and the proposed catalogue scope.
Provide original recordings, project files and provenance evidence.
Independent assessment against the published certification criteria.
Approved music would receive a unique ID, QR seal and public status record.
Once approved, artists and labels may use their valid seal on album and single covers, websites and headers, videos, social media and promotional material, subject to platform artwork rules and the certified catalogue scope.
