Generative AI: Where Do Production Music Companies Really Stand?

Posted on June 19, 2025

A while ago we sent a poll to our members to find out how many of them have been approached to license their music for Generative AI and we’re now sharing the results of the survey.

The IPMG survey shows:

39% of production music companies have been approached to license their music for Gen AI.

0% have licensed it.

97% have no plans to do so in the next 12 months.

🎧 In a fast-moving tech landscape, these numbers are a reminder: caution is not resistance—it’s the industry standard.

If you’re feeling pressure to make quick decisions about AI licensing, you’re not alone—and you’re not behind. Most of us are watching carefully, not rushing in.

IPMG will continue this discussion together with our friends and collaborators at ICMP and the Production Music Association.

Let’s keep the conversation going, grounded in facts—not fear!
