Spanish Point Technologies aims to to distribute over €1.2 billion in royalties for music creators with new AI module

Irish company Spanish Point Technologies have announced the launch of the new AI module Matching Engine, aiming to distribute over €1.2 billion in royalties to 500,000 creators and rightsholders worldwide in 2026.

It is set to be used by organisations shaping global music royalties such as IMRO, SOCAN (Canada), TONO (Norway) and KODA (Denmark).

The AI module will be unveiled on March 15 in The Sugar Club as part of the Matching Engine Symposium in Dublin, welcoming Jennifer Brown, CEO of SOCAN, Karl Vestli, CEO of TONO, and Nicola Migliardi, COO of SIAE. The programme features an Irish music showcase with award-winning performers Aoife Ní Bhriain, Cormac McCarthy and Mick O’Brien.

Matching Engine attempts to respond to challenges across the music industry, such as the rapid rise of AI-generated music and the greater data complexity placing new pressure on rights management processes, as well as the continued growth of streaming platforms and short-form content.

More than 50,000 fully AI-generated tracks reportedly get uploaded daily, accounting for roughly one third of all new content, according to a recent Deezer and Ipsos report. These introduce new risks around fraud, duplication and misattribution.

Using AI for its new Matching Engine, Spanish Point Technologies aims to enhance how rights organisations process and analyse data.

“The volume of music data is reaching a point where manual processes simply can’t keep up,” said John Corley, CEO of Spanish Point Technologies. “This is about giving rights organisations the ability to see what’s happening in their systems instantly, fix issues faster, and protect the value of every play.”
