Universal Music, Stability AI to Develop Music Creation Tools

By Mauro Orru 




  Universal Music Group said it reached an agreement with artificial-intelligence startup Stability AI to develop professional music creation tools as the record label steps up efforts to leverage the technology. 



  The world's largest music company said it would explore new recording and composition concepts with Stability AI, liaising closely with artists to ensure the new tools are beneficial and not detrimental to their work. 



  "With AI, as with everything else we do, we start with what best supports our work to help them achieve creative and commercial success and build from that foundation to forge new and better commercial and creative opportunities. And as we've made abundantly clear, we will only consider advancing AI tools and products based on models that are trained responsibly," Michael Nash, Universal's chief digital officer, said. 



  The announcement comes after Universal Music signed a deal with AI music generator Udio to launch a new platform trained on licensed songs, part of a settlement in a dispute in which Universal had accused the AI startup of copyright infringement.
