Universal Music Group and Stability AI have announced a strategic partnership to develop professional AI music creation tools that prioritize artist feedback and responsible training, aiming to support creative processes while ensuring licensing and copyright safety.
AI-generated artist Xania Monet, created by Telisha Jones using Suno AI, has rapidly climbed the music charts and secured a $3 million record deal, highlighting the growing influence of AI in the music industry.
Universal Music Group is pulling its artists' music, including Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny, from TikTok after a licensing deal expired, citing issues with artist compensation, AI music creation, and online safety. UMG claims that TikTok proposed paying artists and songwriters a fraction of the rate other platforms pay and is developing tools that could replace human artists with AI. TikTok disputes these claims, accusing UMG of prioritizing greed over artists' interests. UMG also criticizes TikTok for its handling of hate speech and harassment, calling for better safety measures.
Microsoft Copilot has partnered with AI music creation platform Suno to introduce a new feature that allows users to create personalized songs via text prompts, regardless of their musical background. The AI algorithm generates fun and clever songs with lyrics and singing voices, making it accessible for non-musicians. The feature is rolling out gradually and will have access to personal data collected by Copilot during use.
