Watermarking of generative audio works

A system comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• memory storing instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the system to:
• receive, at a generative artificial intelligence system, a request to generate a generative audio work based on predetermined content, the request comprising a requested theme for the generative audio work;
• create the generative audio work as a function of the predetermined content and the requested theme by the generative artificial intelligence system;
• after creating the generative audio work, apply a digital watermark to the generative audio work by distributing the digital watermark across multiple frequency bands of the generative audio work and across a plurality of temporal segments of the generative audio work, wherein distributing the digital watermark across multiple frequency bands of the generative audio work comprises modifying frequency components of the multiple frequency bands, the multiple frequency bands being less perceptible to a human ear, and wherein the digital watermark comprises a unique identifier associated with the generative audio work and a payload, wherein presence of the payload in the generative audio work is determined by the generative artificial intelligence system and indicates that the generative audio work was generated by the generative artificial intelligence system, and wherein the payload comprises metadata that facilitates tracking of the generative audio work and management of access to the generative audio work;
• store rights information associated with the generative audio work in a database, the rights information being referenced by the unique identifier;
• and
• track use of the generative audio work based on the unique identifier.
