The music industry is facing a new challenge with the rise of AI-generated music and unauthorized distribution. Mippia, a South Korean startup, has developed an AI-based music plagiarism detection platform that can identify similarities even when tempo, key, instruments, or arrangements have been altered. The platform has been recognized as a CES 2026 Innovation Award winner and is now planning to accelerate expansion in major advanced markets.
## A New Era in Music Copyright Protection
Mippia’s platform provides integrated music IP protection technologies, including AI-based plagiarism detection, real-time plagiarism monitoring, and one-on-one music similarity analysis. The system separates and extracts melody, rhythm, and harmony data from audio tracks and analyzes them using an ultra-fast AI clustering algorithm. This enables the platform to perform up to 100 million comparisons per track in under one minute, detecting similarities that conventional tools often miss.
## Expanding Global Reach
Mippia plans to collaborate with domestic and global entertainment and streaming companies to establish its platform as a global standard for AI-driven copyright analysis and verification. The company is preparing to participate in overseas exhibitions related to music and AI, while working to secure strategic MOUs and proof-of-concept projects with entertainment companies in the United States, Japan, and Europe. By expanding its global reach, Mippia aims to help clarify copyright responsibility through AI-based music registration and detection, while providing reliable data that supports fair revenue distribution for artists and rights holders.
## A Bright Future for Mippia
As generative AI becomes deeply embedded in creative production, losses in the global music industry could reach €1 billion by 2028. Mippia’s AI-driven plagiarism detection platform is poised to address this challenge and revolutionize the music industry. With its technology recognized by the CES 2026 Innovation Award, Mippia is ready to take the next step in its expansion plans and establish itself as a leader in the field of music copyright protection. With its innovative approach and commitment to protecting artists’ rights, Mippia is set to make a significant impact on the music industry in the years to come.
