"Partnerships with record labels, distributors, and music publishers: We'll develop new products for artists and fans through upfront agreements, not by asking for forgiveness later. Choice in participation: We recognize there's a wide range of views on use of generative music tools within the artistic community. Therefore, artists and rightsholders will choose if and how to participate to ensure the use of AI tools aligns with the values of the people behind the music."
"Fair compensation and new revenue: We will build products that create wholly new revenue streams for rightsholders, artists, and songwriters, ensuring they are properly compensated for uses of their work and transparently credited for their contributions. Artist-fan connection: AI tools we develop will not replace human artistry. They will give artists new ways to be creative and connect with fans."
Spotify entered into an agreement with Sony Music Group, Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, Merlin, and Believe to develop responsible generative AI products. Spotify will build a state-of-the-art generative AI research lab and product team to develop technologies aligned with stated principles. The partnership emphasizes upfront label agreements, artist and rightsholder choice in participation, fair compensation and creation of new revenue streams, and tools that deepen artist-fan connections without replacing human artistry. The announcement provided no specific product details, and Spotify has faced criticism for prior handling of AI-generated content and in-house AI features.
