Alphabet’s Google and Universal Music are in discussions to licence musicians’ voices and melodies for songs created by artificial intelligence, The Financial Times reported.
The music industry is battling “deepfake” songs that mimic artists’ voices and are frequently created without their permission.
The purpose of the discussions, according to the report, is to establish a platform that will allow fans to legally make tunes and compensate the copyright holders for them. The artists would have the option to participate in the process.
The article also stated that Google is in talks with Warner Music regarding a product, while conversations between Google and Universal Music are still in the early stages and no product launch is anticipated.
