How the index is verified

aimusic.events tracks actionable AI-music opportunities and the events around them. Precision is never inferred: unknown stays unknown, TBA stays TBA, and changed dates remain visible in history.

Scope

We include contests, calls for papers and demos, hackathons, artist calls, registrations and other deadlines where AI and music are materially connected. A broad event appears only when its AI-music program is evidenced.

AI focus

DedicatedThe full event or program is explicitly about AI and music.
Major trackAI music is a named, substantial track inside a broader event.
Multiple sessionsMore than one confirmed AI-music session or activity.
Single sessionOne confirmed session, workshop or activation.
AdjacentRelevant to the field, but AI music is not a central program claim.
UnverifiedA plausible lead that still needs primary-source confirmation.

Confidence

HighConfirmed by an organizer, university or official program source.
MediumA credible source supports the record, and any gap is stated on the page.
LowA discovery lead only. It belongs on the watchlist, not as a confirmed claim.

Corrections

User-reported errors are triaged within 48 hours; deadline errors are same-day. Every accepted change to a date, deadline, status or price creates a visible change record.

What we never sell

Verification, confidence and AI relevance are editorial facts. Sponsors may eventually buy clearly labelled placement, but never a stronger focus badge, higher confidence or a fresher verification stamp.
