Music origin / AI era / verifiable trust

A trust mark for declared music origin.

ACC records a creator's declaration of music origin as HUMAN, SEMI-MIX or AI GEN and links it to a specific audio file. Listeners and partners can check the public certificate, its current status and blockchain timestamp evidence on the website or through the ACC API.

The certificate shows whether its blockchain timestamp is still awaiting confirmation. A confirmed timestamp lets you check that the recorded data has not changed; it does not prove the declaration true, identify the author or establish rights.

ACC / ORIGIN MARKHUMAN

Declared origin categoryHUMAN

A mark for declared human-origin music.

SEMI-MIX

HUMAN

AI GEN

Origin markA visible label listeners and partners can recognize.

Public proofAn accountable declaration, its current status and blockchain timestamp evidence.

API accessCertificate data that distribution systems can read.

ACC initiative

Make music-origin declarations usable across the market.

ACC invites collective management organizations (CMOs), distributors, streaming services (DSPs), catalog owners and creator networks to test whether origin declarations help them review recordings, resolve missing information and explain origin to listeners.

Architecture of Trust

A declaration people and systems can check.

ACC gives creators a declaration process, partners a readable status record and audiences a recognizable mark. The named declarant is responsible for the statement. Blockchain timestamp evidence protects record integrity, with pending and confirmed stages shown separately.

A timestamp does not establish the truth of a declaration, authorship or rights.

Certification process

From an audio file to a public declaration record.

Before ACCaudio.wav

An audio file alone does not contain an ACC declaration or public certificate.

Identify the recording

Identify the recording, performer, credited creator, producer and authorized declarant.

Choose the final file

Choose the final audio file you are authorized to declare. A SHA-256 hash, which identifies that exact file, is calculated on your device.

Declare origin

Answer the human and AI contribution questions and review the resulting declaration category.

Open the certificate

After successful issuance, check the public record and its separate blockchain confirmation status.

Example: HUMAN declaration

HUMAN

Accountable declaration, public status and verifiable blockchain timestamp evidence.

For listeners

Read the mark. Check the current record.

Open the mark's link or scan its QR code. Check the recording, declared category and current certificate status, then read whether blockchain confirmation is pending or verified.

HUMAN, SEMI-MIX and AI GEN describe declared origin, not artistic quality or rights. A disputed or revoked record is not an active trust mark; no matching certificate does not mean AI use or infringement.

Human-created creative content. Technical assistance such as noise reduction does not change this class if it generates no material creative content.

Declared human-created music.

SEMI-MIX

Material human-created and AI-generated creative content in the final recording. Prompting or selecting a generated output alone is not a material human creative contribution.

Declared mixed creative content.

AI GEN

AI-generated creative content with no material human creative contribution to the final work. Prompting and selecting outputs alone belong here.

Your declaration record

See what a certificate records.

ACC links the declared origin to a specific audio file, publishes the current certificate status and makes the evidence available through its API. The record shows whether the blockchain timestamp is awaiting confirmation or confirmed.

ACC API

A certificate mark that machines can read.

For CMOs, distributors, DSPs, labels and clearance teams, ACC provides a readable record: category, status, file and declaration hashes, declaration version, timestamp confirmation status and public verification URL.

Partner workflows

Choose a process to evaluate.

Choose a creator declaration, public API read, catalog simulation or current public record. CMO and distributor pilots start with a defined registration or intake process.

Creator / label intakeDeclare a recording

Link one final audio file to a named person's declaration. Review what the record makes public and what has been verified.

Distributor / DSPRead origin before review

Read the declared origin and current certificate status as inputs to your own intake, review and listener-information policies.

Catalog ownerModel catalog processing

Estimate catalog processing using assumptions you can adjust, then discuss a pilot. The calculator does not import or certify a catalog.

Collective management / CMOTest mixed-work registration review

Review declared human and AI contributions for a defined sample. Measure declaration completeness and review time; ACC does not decide rights or royalty payments.

What ACC can establish

ACC records declarations. It does not detect AI.

ACC records a declaration, file hash, declaration hash and current status, with separately stated timestamp evidence. It does not independently detect AI, establish the declarant's rights or replace copyright analysis.

Creators, listeners and institutions can use the same record when making their own decisions.

Partner pilot

Test ACC with one process from your organization.

Start with a defined registration, intake, catalog or listener-information process. Agree the sample, evidence limits and success measures before starting. Measure declaration completeness and review time; use the results to decide whether to expand the pilot. ACC does not guarantee savings or royalty payments.
