The output you get is due to the fact the AI has been trained on those artists’ intellectual property,” a person close to the situation was cited as saying.
You could say: compose a song that has the lyrics to be like Taylor Swift, but the vocals to be in the style of Bruno Mars, but I want the theme to be more Harry Styles.
“This next generation of technology poses significant issues. “We will not hesitate to take steps to protect our rights and those of our artists,” the report said, citing emails sent by the company. AI "poses significant issues" According to a previous report by The Financial Times, Universal Music Group (UMG) told streaming platforms, including Spotify and Apple, to block AI services from scraping melodies and lyrics from their copyrighted songs.
In response to the conversation, Spotify took down tens of thousands of AI-generated songs that were uploaded to its platform by the AI startup, Boomy, at the beginning of May.According to Spotify, the removal of AI-generated songs allows the company "to protect royalty payouts for honest, hardworking artists." "When we identify or are alerted to potential cases of stream manipulation, we mitigate their impact by taking action that may include the removal of streaming numbers and the withholding of royalties," the music streaming company was quoted as saying. She said she would be willing to split royalties evenly with anyone who could create a hit song using AI tools to imitate her sounds. Some fans were duped into paying for what they believed to be unreleased Frank Ocean tracks, only for those recordings to have been AI-generated.Īrtists like Ice Cube have described this AI music as "demonic," adding that he would sue anyone making or distributing AI-generated tracks in his style.īut others, like Grimes, have welcomed the technology. The relative ease of generating AI music has opened up scamming opportunities too. Major labels have been quick to remove these tracks from streaming services, as to prevent others from profiting off the likeness of their clients. And the use of people's voices to create AI-generated content has been particularly heated.ĪI-created music that leverages the vocals and production styles of mainstream acts like Drake, The Weeknd, and Travis Scott has gone viral in recent weeks. "Advertising represents an interesting canvas for future exploration, but we don't have anything to announce at this time."ĪI, generally, is a growing conversation topic: There has been a 500% increase in the number of daily podcast episodes discussing AI over the past month, according Spotify CEO Daniel Ek. "We're always working to enhance the Spotify experience and test new offerings that benefit creators, advertisers and users," a Spotify spokesperson said in a statement. Simmons and The Ringer did not immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment. "Would people rather interact with the bot or listen to my podcast?" he asked. In theory, Simmons said, an AI bot that was trained on his former podcasts and writing would even be able to create a podcast that hit all of the beats that Simmons touches on during his own recordings. He also discussed the potential of AI to make podcasts more accessible through translation. Simmons, who sold The Ringer to Spotify for close to $200 million in 2020, outlined the potential of AI advertising to personalize ads for, say, a ticketing company, which could geo-target listeners for events in specific cities. You have to obviously give the approval for the voice, but it opens up, from an advertising standpoint, all these different great possibilities." "I don't think Spotify is going to get mad at me for this, but we're developing that stuff," Simmons said in conversation with Derek Thompson, an editor at The Atlantic, on an episode of "The Bill Simmons Podcast." "There is going to be a way to use my voice for the ads. Next time you're playing a podcast on Spotify, listen really close to its ad - it may be read by AI, not your favorite host.īill Simmons, founder of Spotify-owned podcast network The Ringer, said the streaming platform is developing AI tools trained on its hosts' voices to create targeted ads, as first reported by Semafor. He said that the streaming service is working on technology for AI-generated ads.ĪI trained on voices has been a controversial topic in the music industry in the last month.
