Universal Music Group, the world's largest music company, is asking major streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music to block AI companies from using its music to “train” their technology.
Confirming the report, a UMG spokesperson told the FT: “We have a moral and commercial responsibility to our artists to work to prevent the unauthorized use of their music and to stop platforms from ingesting content that violates the rights of artists and other creators. We expect our platform partners will want to prevent their services from being used in ways that harm artists.”
UMG has been sending takedown requests to the streamers “left and right,” FT quoted an unnamed source as saying. Yet the biggest project in the area is Google’s MusicLM, which can generate music from any written description, and ingested 280,000 hours of music, according to a research paper quoted in FT. However, Google has not released the product after researchers flagged a seemingly very obvious “risk of potential misappropriation of creative content”; such issues were found in approximately 1 per cent of the music the app generated. Google is continuing to develop the project.
