Universal Music Group and Google are in talks to license artists' melodies and vocal tracks for use in artificial intelligence (AI)-generated songs. The use of AI is causing concern due to the amount of "deepfakes" that use musicians' likenesses.

While there is no product launch or guidelines yet, it is stated that the goal is to develop a tool to create tracks with copyrights properly attributed. Artists will have the right to participate in the use of their voices and music.

Google and Meta have launched their own tools called Music LM and AudioCraft to create music and audio using generative AI. Many people in the creative industries are concerned about the implications of using AI to create artistic and creative products.#AI#music #technology
