AI creates headaches for music industry
The music industry is now trying to make money from one of its biggest threats after artificial intelligence imitates artists.
The idea is to offer AI-generated content based on the artists' voices and musical footprints. Fans should be able to choose e.g. a cover song and have their favorite artist perform it.
The conversations between Google and Universal Music are at an early stage, and no product launch is immediately forthcoming, but the goal is to develop a tool for fans to create these songs in a legitimate way and pay the rights holders for the copyrights.
