# Canada's SOCAN Names Musical AI as Official Attribution Partner for AI Music Training Credits

_Legal · published 2026-07-21_

Canada's performing rights organization SOCAN has designated Musical AI as an approved technology partner for attribution services, aimed at identifying and compensating creators whose work is used to train AI music models. The partnership will explore how Musical AI's attribution technology can be applied within the Canadian market.

The move signals a step toward formalizing creator credit and payment frameworks in the AI music space, as rights organizations grapple with how to ensure musicians and songwriters are recognized when their catalogues contribute to generative AI systems.
