YouTube Tests AI-Powered Music Remix Feature for Creators - 9d
YouTube is experimenting with a new AI-powered feature designed to enhance music creation for Shorts. A select group of creators are currently testing the ability to "restyle" licensed songs using AI prompts. This allows creators to generate unique 30-second soundtracks by inputting instructions that change the genre or mood of an existing track. The feature is an extension of YouTube's Dream Track AI technology and aims to provide creators with more diverse audio options.
The AI-generated soundtracks will clearly attribute the original song, indicating that the track has been restyled using artificial intelligence. This is a significant development, potentially impacting music licensing and copyright in the digital space. The test is being closely watched by the music industry to gauge its potential effects on traditional music licensing practices and artist compensation.
While details on the specific licensed songs and music labels involved remain undisclosed, a previous report suggested YouTube has been in talks with major music labels about utilizing their catalogs for AI model training. The ongoing experiment with this AI remix feature signifies YouTube's continuing investment in AI tools for content creation and showcases a novel approach to music usage within its platform.
