  "account": "ElevenLabs, an audio artificial intelligence company, announced on Thursday that its ElevenMusic platform will now allow users to publish AI-generated music directly on SoundCloud. In addition, SoundCloud Artist Pro users will receive three months of ElevenMusic Pro access, which provides users the ability to generate up to 1,000 songs, split stem files 500 times, and create five custom styles or vocals monthly. The company launched its music generation model in 2025, followed by a consumer app in April 2026, and introduced a new model capable of genre-switching and complex vocals a month later. As of now, users have created over 25 million tracks using the AI models. SoundCloud, on the other hand, has pursued a different strategy by partnering with AI music tooling company Moises, enabling artists to export and import songs between SoundCloud and other platforms. The company's CEO, Eliah Seton, stated that the integration is aimed at providing artists with a broader platform to experiment and share their work with a larger audience. ElevenLabs has also partnered with Spotify, allowing authors to generate narrations for audiobooks and publish them on the music streaming service. While Spotify has formed partnerships with labels for AI remixing products, it has not yet revealed any model partners like ElevenLabs. Despite the growing popularity of AI technology among musicians, music streaming platforms are increasingly focusing on labeling and filtering out AI-generated music. For instance, Deezer is introducing a toggle to filter out AI music entirely, Bandcamp has banned AI-generated tracks, and Spotify and YouTube have taken a cautious approach to labeling AI tracks.",
