We donated $25k to the Machine Intelligence Research Institute.

The long-term potential of humanity is unimaginably enormous. We can’t even dream of the number of stars our distant descendants will settle on and how diverse their forms, abilities, and feelings will be.

Scientists researching existential risks estimate the chance of that long-term potential being destroyed by AI as 1/10 within the next 100 years. For comparison, they estimate the probability of an existential catastrophe caused by a naturally-originated pandemic as 1/10000; by a climate change as 1/1000 per century.

AI researchers don’t know how to make an artificial general intelligence such that it won’t destroy humanity; they think the default way the AI will be created would lead to a catastrophe.
No one has come up with a way to solve the problem of aligning preferences of a teachable agent switch human preferences. It is well understood that it’s impossible to achieve just by defining some rules or designing an accurate utility function (just like it’s impossible to come up with a wish a genie would have to fulfill in a way you intended to). The researchers have shown that any statically defined utility function won’t be aligned with human preferences. No one has come up with an algorithm that would create agents doing what we’d want them to do if we were smarter.
Among the ways that can potentially work, there are, e.g., algorithms that create agents that want to satisfy our preferences but aren’t sure what those preferences are, and thus every time they aren’t sure what we would want them to do, they ask. How to create such algorithms, scientists and researchers don’t know yet.
Experts in this field estimate the chances of an existential catastrophe caused by AI a lot higher than 1/10.

The creation of the first AGI will be the event that will determine the history of humanity. The long-term potential of our species can be destroyed - but if we succeed, we’ll get an assistant that will help us solve all of the other problems humanity is facing.

The estimates of when AGI will be created vary among researchers. But if humanity knew that aliens would arrive on Earth in a few decades, it would already begin to prepare. The creation of AGI is an event far more important than an encounter of another intelligent species - and we almost certainly know that we have less than a century remaining. We believe that AI Existential Safety is the most important thing people can work on right now.

Machine Intelligence Research Institute is one of the organizations that work on reducing the AI-related existential risk. They do research to ensure that smarter-than-human AI will have a positive impact.

We’ve made some changes to our Enterprise endpoint:
- It now accepts URLs of web pages (e.g., YouTube links);
- The chunks’ length is now 12 seconds;
- You can specify the time where the server should start music recognition;
- You can ask the server to parse the t parameter of the url you give it and use it as the start time.

Our Reddit bot already utilizes those features, checkout the source code




The internet is full of homophobia and transphobia, full of hate towards people for their views, colors, sexual orientations, and gender identities.

For the third year in a row, we're celebrating Pride month (including our Russian VK page, vk.com/audd). We want to remind our subscribers that all people are equal intelligent creatures no matter if they belong to LGBTQ+, and that the hate towards the LGBTQ+ community is absurd and caused by ignorance and biases.

Happy Pride!


We slightly updated @auddbot. Now it also supports links to video streaming services (and timecodes!)

The bot also accepts video and audio files of any length; the music is recognized from the first 12 seconds of the file.

You can also requests BPM, music key, and loudness or share the recognized song to other chats using the Share button.


Update: SBG5 is not a datacenter but a region and the actual data was physically stored on one of the SBG1-4. We don’t know yet on which one and if the data is restorable


The API for audio files should be fully operational now. The API for audio streams should be mostly operational.

We apologize for the inconvenience and downtime. It was caused by a fire in the OVHCloud's building. The fire destroyed their SBG2 datacenter and a part of SBG1.

We temporarily aren't able to restore the tokens of most users who sign up after March 5 and any data of four of our clients. We store a backup at the SBG5 datacenter, which wasn't affected by fire but is disconnected from the Internet. We hope to restore the data as soon as possible.


We're experiencing a downtime caused by a major OVHCloud outage.

We'll try to restore the services that were dependent on the OVHCloud infrastructure from the latest backups.


You can now turn on the auto-renewal of your subscription on the Dashboard.

Important: We decided to automatically renew subscriptions of those users who send requests after their subscription ends. That would help you avoid interruptions in the service. We know that many of our customers don't use Telegram a lot, and therefore they don't receive messages from our Telegram bot. It leads to many accidental losses of access to the API because some customers only renew their subscriptions when they get errors from the API.

If you don't send any API requests in two days after your subscription period has ended and haven't manually enabled the auto-renewals, we won't automatically renew your subscription, and you'll get unsubscribed.

If you want to unsubscribe but aren't able to stop sending requests, please let us know.

If you get charged without wanting to, please let us know, and we'll fully refund the payment.

You can contact us with any questions: @AudDhelp or hello@audd.io.


Released version two of our Twitch extension.

No external setup is now needed. Users just pay $45 or past API tokens, insert a browser source in OBS or other compatible streaming software, and that's it. The recognition starts once they start their Twitch broadcast.

Powered by the AudD Music Recognition for streams.

If you want to test the extension for free, reach out to hello@audd.io


We donated $5000 to the Machine Intelligence Research Institute.

The long-term future of humanity is extremely valuable. The scientists evaluate the chance of an AI destroying the enormous potential of the human race as 1 in a 6, which is orders of magnitude greater than the risks posed by bioterrorism or global warming.

MIRI works on the prevention of the existential risks related to smarter-than-human AIs. They do research in math, machine learning, game theory and solve a lot of extremely interesting problems about utility functions and decision making.

If you decide to donate certain resources or money to charity, it's better to make the highest possible positive impact with the resources you devoted.
If your aim is to save lives or make them better right now, there are organizations like GiveWell.org that help with that.

But the support of MIRI and other organizations (e.g. Future of Humanity Institute at Oxford) focused on preserving the long-term potential of humanity saves a lot more lives than could save the support of usual charities, even the most effective ones of them.

Hey y'all, see what we've made

dashboard.audd.io


Twitch has finally released our music recognition extension!

It allows broadcasters to show what music is playing on the stream and posts all the song with the lis.tn links to the chat.

Let us know if you want to test it out (or if you know someone who would want to test it) or if you have an active recognition for streams subscription and want to use it.

By the way, we'll be releasing the source code of the extension at some point. Aside from Twitch, it can also be used on websites of radio stations to show the currently playing song using longpolling. Let us know if you want the source code, too.

Contact @AudDhelp or hello@audd.io


We’ve updated docs.audd.io.

Now all the methods have code examples, and we added convenient docs for the enterprise endpoint too.

Let us know what you think!


Twitch and YouTube streams native support

You can now easily recognize music that plays on Twitch and YouTube live streams.

In addStream and setStreamUrl API methods, just send youtube:[video id] or twitch:[channel name] as a stream url — like twitch:monstercat or youtube:5qap5aO4i9A.

API Docs for streams: streams.audd.io
Add your first stream: t.me/auddbot?start=streams


Music recognition for streams for all of our users

We've been working on this for a while. We're already recognizing music playing on hundreds of audio streams — in real-time, 24/7 — but before now, we provided the service only to clients with 10+ streams.

And now we're about to launch music recognition for audio streams available to all of our users, for $45 per stream per month ($25 if you want your content to be recognized).

API Docs for the streams are here: streams.audd.io.
