What's most notable about the new agreement is that it states that the two companies are addressing 'unauthorized AI-generated content.' This refers to songs being scraped by AI systems, often without the consent of the original creators.
The partnership follows TikTok's feud with UMG earlier this year when the label's catalog of music was removed from the short-form video app, emphasizing concerns about AI and online safety on the platform.
The new agreement also comes on the heels of an AI-related lawsuit filed by the Recording Industry Association of America against music generation startups Udio and Suno for training their AI models using copyrighted music.
Meta claims to be taking an ethical approach to AI music, only releasing generative AI models that are trained with 'Meta-owned and specifically licensed' content.
