AI literacy for music & everyone it touches.
Sound Judgement is a structured programme from AI:OK covering Systems, Tools, Governance, and Judgement. For creators, professionals, institutions, and organisations navigating AI in the creative industries.
How it worksAI is changing music - not just how it sounds, but how it is made, owned, distributed, and paid for. This programme gives you the framework to see what is happening, understand why, and form your own position on what should happen next.
Self-Paced Programme
Thirty-six spoken-to-camera films, each followed by a three-question checkpoint. The questions test three tiers - understanding, application, and judgement - and all must be passed before the next lesson unlocks. Work at your own pace. Pick up where you left off. Certificate on completion.
Institutional Licensing
For universities, conservatoires, rights organisations, and industry bodies. License Sound Judgement as a structured AI literacy module for your students, members, or staff. Learner reporting and dedicated onboarding. Deploy across departments or embed in existing curricula.
Enterprise & Partner
For labels, publishers, platforms, and music-tech companies. We build dedicated AI:OK academies tailored to your organisation - your branding, your domain, your learner groups. Use it for staff training, vendor onboarding, or client-facing governance education. Built once, scaled across teams.
Why AI:OKMost AI literacy programmes start with the technology. We start with the industry it is changing.
Sound Judgement is built by music industry practitioners, not technologists. It is designed for the people living through the disruption - creators, professionals, students, and decision-makers - and it treats AI not as a topic to study but as a force to understand, evaluate, and govern. The programme does not tell you what to think. It gives you the structure to think clearly: how the system works, what the tools do, who holds the power, and what your position is. That is what literacy means.
