Sony Group has developed a technology that can identify the original music used in AI-generated songs, potentially allowing songwriters to seek compensation if their work helped train AI models.
The system analyzes which artists’ tracks were used in learning and generating music, and can even estimate contribution levels. If developers cooperate, Sony can connect directly to base model systems for detailed data. Without cooperation, it compares AI-generated tracks with existing catalogs to estimate the sources.
As the AI boom fuels accusations of copyrighted music being used without permission — including songs mimicking famous singers — Sony believes this tool could support a framework where revenue from AI music is shared with original creators and help curb infringement.
Developed by Sony AI, the technology could also be applied to video, games and character content. The company has not yet announced when it will be put into practical use.

🎨 Colour Divides
by Robby Ogilvie
Taken in the Bo-Kaap neighbourhood of Cape Town, South Africa, this image centres on a parked car set against a sharply divided colourful facade. The composition balances geometry and saturation; everyday architecture becomes graphic and deliberate, reflecting how colour and place shape urban identity.

X is testing a standalone messaging app — X Chat
X has begun testing a separate X Chat app for iOS — a dedicated messenger similar to WhatsApp or Signal, built around X’s private messaging system.
The first beta launched through Apple’s TestFlight and filled up within two hours. Initially limited to 1,000 testers, the program is already expanding to 5,000 users.
X Chat is essentially an upgraded version of X’s direct messages, which the company says are end-to-end encrypted. However, some security experts have previously questioned how secure the system actually is.
Early testers say the app feels simpler and smoother than messaging inside the main X app. Some features — including message requests, verified badges, and calling — are still being developed.
An Android version is expected very soon.
