Francoobla Music introduces AI vs. Human Intelligence challenge and new anti-plagiarism proposal

Oct 21, 2026

Italian musician Franco Oblatore unveils an international music challenge and MAJESTATIS SEVEN, a proposed mathematical framework for identifying similarities in music and lyrics. The initiative also introduces plans for a global music release featuring 200 tracks developed for virtual artist Lady Jane.

Italy, October 21, 2026 /MarketersMEDIA/ -- Francoobla Music, an independent music project founded by Italian pianist and composer Franco Oblatore, has announced two initiatives addressing the relationship between artificial intelligence, human creativity, and intellectual property protection. The announcement introduces an international AI vs. Human Intelligence (HI) musical challenge and MAJESTATIS SEVEN, a proposed mathematical approach to identifying potential plagiarism in music and lyrics.

Drawing on 60 years of musical experience, Oblatore aims to encourage international discussions about the role of human creative direction in AI-assisted music production. He has invited U.S. financial media, broadcasting networks, record labels, and technology companies to evaluate the proposals and explore potential collaboration opportunities.

"I am an ordinary person with 60 years of concrete experience, registered patents, and a human-directed AI catalog built since 2023," said Franco Oblatore, founder of Francoobla Music. "I invite the industry to look closely at what we have developed and assess the improvements from 2023 to 2026."

International musical challenge explores collaboration between AI and human creativity

The proposed International Friendly Musical Challenge Between AI and HI (Human Intelligence) seeks to examine how human artistic expertise can guide generative AI technologies in music production.

Through the initiative, Oblatore intends to demonstrate the importance of detailed human direction in AI-assisted composition. His approach incorporates extensive prompts specifying musical instruments, arrangements, tempo, solos, vocal styles, and other creative elements.

According to Oblatore, these instructions include references to instruments such as the Hammond C3 organ, Steinway piano, Gibson guitars, and Fender Stratocasters, alongside specific rhythmic structures and vocal characteristics.

The project initially targets potential collaborators in the United States. Francoobla Music is also considering opportunities in Asian markets, including China, India, South Korea, and Japan, as part of its international development plans.

"We are offering a clear window for review and discussion," Oblatore explained. "Should new international avenues align better with our long-term goals, Francoobla Music could consider directing its strategic initiatives toward Asian markets."

MAJESTATIS SEVEN proposes mathematical criteria for identifying plagiarism

Alongside the musical challenge, Francoobla Music has introduced MAJESTATIS SEVEN, a proposed framework designed to establish measurable criteria for identifying similarities between creative works.

The proposal defines two thresholds:

  • Music: Seven consecutive, identical notes in a melodic pitch sequence would constitute plagiarism under the proposed framework.
  • Lyrics: Seven consecutive words appearing in the same order and conceptual context would similarly meet the proposed plagiarism threshold.

Oblatore developed the concept in response to ongoing debates surrounding copyright protection, originality, and the growing use of generative AI in creative industries.

The framework aims to offer artists, technology developers, and legal professionals a clearer reference point when assessing similarities between musical compositions or lyrical works.

"Until now, copyright law in music has been a grey area of subjective debate," Oblatore said. "MAJESTATIS SEVEN provides the industry with a definitive, mathematical line. You modify one element out of seven, and it is a variation; hit seven identical consecutive elements, and it is plagiarized."

The proposed criteria represent Oblatore's approach to originality assessment and have not been established as legally binding international copyright standards.

Global music project to introduce Lady Jane's 200-track catalog

In addition to the two initiatives, Francoobla Music is preparing an international music project titled Musical Kolossal, with planned releases targeting audiences in the United States, European Union, China, and Japan.

The project will feature Lady Jane, a virtual artist persona whose catalog comprises 200 original tracks spanning multiple musical genres. The catalog was developed through a production approach combining Oblatore's musical direction with generative AI technology.

The initial release is expected to feature 24 selected tracks, including four Italian pop songs, introducing audiences to the project's musical diversity and creative approach.

Through the planned rollout, Francoobla Music aims to demonstrate the potential of human-directed AI music production while expanding its international presence.

Project registrations and intellectual property references

Francoobla Music has provided the following registration and reference numbers associated with its initiatives:

  • MAJESTATIS SEVEN protocol: Safe Creative / eIDAS Registration Code No. 2610137313805
  • Musical works and AI vs. HI challenge format: SIAE Registration No. 2026/01584
  • U.S. Copyright Office: Case No. 1-15211873131

These references are provided by Francoobla Music and do not, by themselves, establish legal approval of the proposed plagiarism criteria.
