Google Makes Its Text-to-Music AI Public; Music & AI: Mix, or Match?; Spotify Cracks Down on AI-Generated Music Streaming Fraud
#3 | Your Weekly Dose of AI Music News
Hello! Welcome to the latest edition of the AI Music Newsletter! A big thanks to everyone who has signed up.
Truth is… I could easily deliver two issues per week. There’s such an avalanche of news these days it’s quite hard to make heads or tails of where this ship is headed.
Calm seas, or rocky waters? Perhaps a bit of both. A possible Wed/Fri combo of newsletter editions is an option if the flood of news continues unabated.
It's difficult to predict the exact level of popularity that AI-generated music will achieve, in say, a year from now, or five years down the road. The innovators, artists and lawyers will surely be locked in a power struggle for the foreseeable future.
The overall acceptance/ popularity of AI Music among consumers depends on several factors, including the development of the technology itself, the tastes of the general public, and just how much their favorite artists choose to lean into this new world of AI/music.
Interesting times.
Have a great day! 😀
