My Music My Choice tool poisons songs to prevent AI voice cloning and deepfake songs

Researchers at Binghamton University and Cauth AI developed My Music My Choice, a digital safeguard that adds imperceptible changes to a song's waveform. The invisible audio technique lets artists protect their recordings before release—tracks sound normal to fans but become unusable when fed into AI voice cloning systems. Tested on 150 tracks, the tool addresses the surge of deepfake songs and copyright infringement that flooded platforms in 2025.
