Generates audio with AI
generates_audio
Your app uses artificial intelligence (AI) to produce speech, singing, music or other sound, rather than only publishing what a person recorded.
- scope code
- in the registry since 1.7
- 107 laws in 72 jurisdictions name it
What triggers it
The lint's definition. It makes speech, singing, music or other sound with an AI model that reaches its users or the public. Somebody else's model counts; output only its own team reads is not this.
This covers a voice clone used in an advertisement, a text-to-speech narrator, a synthetic singer and a music generator, whether the model is yours or a vendor's.
It implies Generates content with AI, so the rules written for every kind of AI-generated content reach it too.
What does not
A person's own recording that your app only plays, trims or transcribes does not count; recording and analyzing voices is Processes voice recordings.
Often confused with Generates content with AI and Processes voice recordings.

Counterparties that usually come with it
- a model provider whose API writes the output
A component that cannot run as documented without one of these names
it in its ACTIVITIES.md under talks_to, with
required: true. That party's jurisdiction then joins the
run of every product that uses the component, and the finding says
why it is there. A default the deployer can change is asked about,
never added. Talking to a party never makes a product that party.
In a declaration
A library or framework that makes this possible enables
it; an application whose shipped code does it performs it.
