MusicEthics.org Certification

Welcome to the M.E. Certified application. Organizations that wish to demonstrate their commitment to ethical, transparent, and human-first use of AI in music may apply for certification here.

Supporting materials are optional but helpful. Once your application is reviewed and approved, your organization will be authorized to display the M.E. Certified badge and publicly communicate that you meet (or exceed) the standards for Ethical Use of AI in Music. Approved organizations may also be included in the public directory on MusicEthics.org. A member of the Standards Board will contact you with your status and any follow-up questions.
