We were honoured to join the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO) for its recent
Road to
AI Infrastructure Interchange (AIII)
forum series, where global experts are shaping the future of copyright, licensing, and governance in the age of AI.
Voice-Swap’s Chief Strategy & Impact Officer, Michael Pelczynski, joined Garrett Levin (Senior Policy Officer, WIPO) and Dani Deahl (Recording Academy Trustee & VP at BandLab Technologies) to discuss what true infrastructure for AI and creative rights must look like. The takeaway: in the AI era, attribution, licensing, and monetisation need to be embedded at the point of inference itself. Infrastructure isn’t just “plumbing” – it’s governance.
For Voice-Swap, this is more than a talking point. We’re integrating with
established partners like BMAT to certify voices, develop rights management, and create enforceable rails that reflect voice as a new class of IP. Voices aren’t raw material; they’re rights. Where many companies treat voices as raw training material, we’re establishing legal precedent with artists themselves – ensuring creatives have a seat at the table while building market-leading infrastructure for the voice economy.
This is how innovation and protection move forward together.
