About Us
About Us
Neural Fingerprinting is a significant advancement beyond traditional audio fingerprinting techniques, which primarily rely on matching exact audio snippets. Neural embeddings capture semantic relationships to identify covers, remixes and generative-AI derivatives.
SoundPatrol pioneers cutting-edge AI music technology, delivering state-of-the-art tools and advanced models which empower third-party platforms and research labs.
Proactively safeguarding against copyright infringements and authenticating human expression ensure a creatively vibrant digital music ecosystem that fairly compensates artists for their original works.
The lab originated at Stanford University with a constellation of leading AI, machine learning and cybersecurity academics, including Walter De Brouwer Ph. D., SoundPatrol’s Co-Founder and CEO, and colleagues Percy Liang Ph. D., Director of the Center for Foundation Models, Chris Re, Ph. D., Stanford AI Lab, Director of FactoryHQ and Dan Boneh, Ph. D., Director of the Applied Cryptography Lab and Co-Director of the Cybersecurity Lab.

“This is a huge victory for all artists in the creative universe. One of the premier issues affecting artists has always been the protection of their intellectual property rights.
SoundPatrol has answered the long-standing problem of IP theft by creating a frontier lab with neural fingerprinting capabilities that can identify all pipelines of directly transmitted content, whether on its own or intermixed, in real time. This is the first-of-its-kind technology implemented to protect all copyright holders and creators of any type of intellectual property.”

Walter De Brouwer, SoundPatrol Co-Founder and CEO:
“Generative AI is transforming music in extraordinary ways, but if we abandon copyright, we risk severing artists from ownership of their own work. It is compulsory to proactively feed deep embeddings of these neural signatures into streaming infrastructures so that owners can maintain control, authenticity, and monetization of their intellectual property in the generative AI era. Eliminating copyright to accelerate AI is like changing the speed of light to advance physics—it misunderstands the fundamental laws that sustain creativity.”
