    Kyle Wiggers, writing at TechCrunch:

    SoundCloud appears to have quietly changed its terms of use to allow the company to train AI on audio that users upload to its platform.

    As spotted by tech ethicist Ed Newton-Rex, the latest version of SoundCloud’s terms include a provision giving the platform permission to use uploaded content to “inform, train, [or] develop” AI.

    And, SoundCloud responded:

Use cases include personalized recommendations, content organization, fraud detection, and improvements to content identification with the help of AI technologies.
