OYouTube teamed up with several renowned artists, such as John Legend, Sia, Charlie Puth, Demi Lovato, T-Pain, Charli XCX, Troye Sivan, Alec Benjamin and Papoose, with the aim of creating artificial intelligence-generated models of their voices to be used in videos from site creators.
The video platformGoogle is using a music generation model created by DeepMindthe company’s AI sector, to produce 30-second test clips.
By simply typing an idea into the creation box and selecting a participating artist who appears in the carousel, an original Shorts soundtrack, featuring AI-generated voice, will be produced for the creator to use in their short video.shared theYouTube executives Lyor Cohen and Toni Reid.
YouTube commented that the Dream Track, the name of the tool, is only available to a small group of 100 content creators in the United States. However, Shorts users will be able to use and remix the track themselves as soon as it appears.
To show how it works, the platform privately published two illustrative videos. One shows the AI generating Charlie Puth’s voice, after being asked to sing a song about how opposites attract. The second video features the voice of rapper T-Pain, singing about a sunny morning in Florida.
In a joint post on YouTube’s official Instagram account, Charlie Puth commented that artificial intelligence is developing rapidly, and as an artist, I must do my part in shaping the future of technology in a way that benefits my fellow artists, creators and most importantly, you, my fans. Check out one of the videos below, in full.
And the innovations don’t stop there. In addition to the voice, Dream Track also produces the lyrics and instrumental of the song! The platform also intends to implement a tool that converts a murmur of a beat into a guitar solo, or even transforms a pop song into a reggaeton.
Despite being a technological revolution, the Dream Track experiment grows as artists and record companies fight against the use of artificial intelligence. This effort was evident with the release of the song Heart On My Sleevewith vocals made by AI simulating the voices of Drake and Abel The Weeknd Tesfaye, without the permission of the artists or the record company, theUniversal Music Group.
Generative AI training using our artists’ music (which represents both a violation of our agreements and a violation of copyright law), as well as the availability of infringing content created with generative AI at DSPs (digital service providers) , raises the question of which side of the story all stakeholders in the music ecosystem want to be on: on the side of artists, fans and human creative expression, or on the side of deep fakes, fraud and denying artists their due compensation, said a spokesperson. voice of Universal.
In addition to Universal, other record companies are filing lawsuits against the company AI Anthropic due to the use of lyrics extremely similar to songs by Katy Perry and Gloria Gaynor. The record companies claim that this is not an innovation, but rather plagiarism.
Amid this controversy, Stability AI’s head of audio, Ed Newton-Rex, resigned from his position this Wednesday (15) in a gesture of protest against the company’s support for the argument of fair use of copyrighted works. to train AI models, but without paying the holders of these rights.
Ive resigned from my role leading the Audio team at Stability AI, because I dont agree with the companys opinion that training generative AI models on copyrighted works is fair use.
First off, I want to say that there are lots of people at Stability who are deeply

I don’t see how this can be acceptable in a society that has created the creative arts economy in such a way that creators depend on copyrights, commented Newton-Rex on his official account on X, formerly Twitter.
Despite this, he shared that he was proud to have launched the music generating model based on licensed data, creating a climate of doubt on this issue.
