This is how the records on this label get made, who makes them, who owns them and how people get paid. It is written down so nobody has to guess.
AI is a studio tool here. We use it for instrumentation and arrangement ideas, vocal texture and stacking, mixing and mastering assistance, stem cleanup, artwork concepts, and visuals. It speeds up the parts of record-making that used to require a budget we did not have.
AI is never the author. Nothing goes out because a model produced something interesting. It goes out because a person decided it was finished.
Humans write the songs. Humans decide the subject, the point of view, the structure and the lines that carry it. Humans direct the takes, choose the references, sequence the record and approve the master. Depending on the release, vocals and instruments may be performed by people or generated with AI — and we disclose which, release by release.
Every release on this label has a named human behind it who can tell you what the song is about and why it exists. If nobody can answer that, it does not get released.
Artists own their music. AIE does not take ownership of a creator's masters or publishing as a condition of working with us, and sending us music through the site transfers nothing.
When we release, promote or distribute something, the terms are written down and agreed to first. No handshake claims on anyone's catalog.
Credits name the people. Writers, performers, producers and features are listed as they are — including when AI tools were part of the process.
We disclose AI involvement honestly on the platforms and forms that ask for it. We do not pass AI-assisted work off as something else, and we do not pretend organic work used tools it did not.
Artist membership follows the plans on the Join page (AIE Spotlight: $20/month or $199/year at the launch price through Dec 31, 2026, then $34.99/month or $349/year). Distribution through AIE is optional. For releases AIE distributes, AIE keeps 15% of net profit (after distribution fees) and pays the rest to the artist quarterly. Streaming platforms pay out a quarter behind, so each payout covers earnings from the previous quarter, and every payout comes with a sales report.
There are no upfront or per-release distribution fees. Promotion support is included with AIE Spotlight. Everything is agreed in writing before the work starts.
AI-assisted music gets treated as suspect by default. We are not interested in arguing about it. We would rather tell you exactly how the records are made and let the music stand on that.
