"Under an agreement, Udio will release a platform next year using AI models trained on licensed and authorized music, the New York-based companies said. The music could include content from WMG's publishing businesses, providing new revenue for artists and songwriters who choose to opt in, the companies added. Udio declined to say which artists would be involved in its new platform, and WMG did not return a request for comment. WMG's artist roster includes Ed Sheeran, Fleetwood Mac and Madonna."
"The startup's current platform allows users to write text prompts and create songs using AI. The new version, which is expected to launch next year, will let users create remixes, covers and new songs with the voices of artists and the compositions of songwriters who choose participate and those artists and writers will be credited and paid, the companies said. "This collaboration aligns with our broader efforts to responsibly unlock AI's potential - fueling new creative and commercial possibilities while continuing to deliver innovative experiences for fans," said Robert Kyncl, WMG CEO, in a statement."
Warner Music Group reached an agreement with AI startup Udio, ending a legal dispute over the use of copyrighted recordings to train AI models. Udio will release a platform next year that uses AI models trained on licensed and authorized music, which may include content from WMG's publishing businesses and provide new revenue for artists and songwriters who opt in. The new version will allow users to create remixes, covers and new songs using participating artists' voices and songwriters' compositions, with participating creators credited and paid. The settlement follows a similar UMG deal and marks a shift toward collaboration.
