It is reported that Google is in talks with Universal Music about AI music licensing.

Thank you, Mr. Air, a netizen of CTOnews.com, for your clue delivery! On the afternoon of August 9, Beijing time, it is reported that Google is in talks with Universal Music on the licensing of AI music, mainly because AI tends to use artists' voices and melodies to generate new music without permission.

AI imitates artists' voices to generate music, and the music industry has begun to deal with AI's deep forgery (AI Deepfake) of songs.

Tuyuan Pexels reported that the goal of the negotiations is to develop a set of tools that allow fans to legally generate AI music and pay a fee to copyright owners, and artists have the right to choose whether to join or not in the whole process.

At present, the negotiations between Google and Universal Music are still in the early stages, there is no product launch for the time being, and Warner Music is also in talks with Google.
