Google and Universal Music working on licensing voices for AI-generated songs

Early stage talks are expected to include a potential tool fans could use to make AI-generated songs

Google and Universal Music are negotiating a deal on how to license the voices and melodies of artists for artificial intelligence-generated songs.

The talks are expected to include the potential development of a tool for fans where individuals could make AI-generated songs but the relevant copyright owners would be paid. The artists would have a choice to opt in to the process.
