A new framework proposes a market-based approach to compensating music creators whose work is used to train generative AI models. The proposed system calculates payments based on an "attribution score" that estimates a creator's contribution to the AI model's output, considering entire catalog usage rather than individual songs. The informativeness of this attribution signal directly impacts welfare gains for both creators and the platform, with noisy signals potentially leading to fixed-fee licensing over royalties and diminishing overall economic benefits.
