I made the Intro on my own, AI created the melody on top of it, then I replayed the melody using my own instrument. Now who owns the beat?

Ownership depends on these factors:

• Intro: The intro is your original work and under your copyright.
• AI Melody: Ownership depends on the AI tool’s terms. Many tools assign rights to the user, but some retain ownership. Check the tool’s policies.
• Performance: You own the performance rights for replaying the melody, but the melody’s copyright may remain with the AI tool.
• Combined Beat: Final ownership involves rights for the intro, AI melody, and your arrangement. Legal clarity depends on AI terms and evolving copyright laws.

While laws on AI-generated music are still developing, consulting experts can help interpret current laws, draft contracts, and minimize risks.
