What AWAL's AI policy says

- In section 7 of AWAL's distribution terms you warrant that no generative artificial intelligence was used in creating any recording or properties, or any part of them.
- We found no AWAL help article explaining how this is checked or enforced.

Do you have to disclose AI on AWAL?
The AWAL rules we found do not ask you to disclose AI use. Disclosure in our table: Not mentioned.
Voice clones and sound-alikes on AWAL
Not mentioned separately. The terms bar any use of generative AI in the recordings.
- The clause covers components too, so partly AI-generated tracks are also covered.
- The terms do not mention voice cloning separately.
Money: monetisation and stores
AWAL has not published an AI-specific rule on monetisation that we could find, so its normal payout and rights rules apply.
AWAL AI policy changelog
AWAL has not published a dated AI policy change that we could find. We re-check the sources below every month and add any change here with its date.
Not yet confirmed on an official page
These points come from press, search snippets or pages we could not read in full. We are re-checking them by hand.
- The terms page shows no last-updated date, so when the AI clause was added is not known.
How AWAL's rules fit with the stores
AWAL is one layer. When it accepts an AI song, each store it delivers to (Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, TikTok and the rest) still applies its own AI rules, and some stores will not take AI releases from some distributors. If you used an AI generator, its terms decide whether you own the song in the first place.
Rules change fast. Our verdict for AWAL: Not allowed, checked 15 October 2026. Before a release that depends on it, read the linked source yourself. Not legal advice.
