Google’s Dream Track Experiment: A Step Towards the Future of Artificial Intelligence in Music Production and the Protection of Artists’ Work

Dream Track is currently only available in the shortform video offering of YouTube, but the company is going to use it alongside other artificial intelligence music tools that can do things like auto-generated horn sections and even entire orchestra from text prompts and humming. Google issued a series of videos demonstrating these tools, which are being developed with the Google subsidiary DeepMind using the AI music generation model Lyria. A demo shows how to turn a solo a vocal line into music.

The pilot tools are currently being worked on, according to the email. They have not been released to the public yet, but instead are being tested by roughly 100 U.S.-based participating content creators already within Google’s orbit.

“Being a part of YouTube’s Dream Track experiment is an opportunity to help shape possibilities for the future,” said John Legend. “As an artist, I am happy to have a seat at the table and I look forward to seeing what the creators dream up during this period.”

“I am grateful that this new development involves the artists so they are being compensated for what they are doing,” said singer-actor Dan Navarro. “But the commoditization of music, like so much toothpaste from a tube, leads me to wonder, where is the inspiration? I suspect that isn’t present.

Google’s latest AI music toy comes at a tricky time. Generative artificial intelligence can cause a lot of problems when it comes to copyright and YouTube has been trying to keep up with this influx of art on its platform. In June, when the song “Heart on My Sleeve” went viral, it was pulled from several streaming services after complaints from the artists’ label, Universal Music Group.

Sir Lucian Grainge, chairman and CEO of UMG said in a statement to NPR that they have a duty to protect their artists’ work against unauthorized exploitation. “At the same time, we must help artists achieve their greatest creative and commercial potential – in part by providing them access to the kind of opportunities and cutting-edge creative tools made possible by AI.”

“This will obviously become more widespread,” said entertainment business lawyer Schuyler Moore, a partner at the Los Angeles-based law firm Greenberg Glusker.

Moore said he expects licensing deals between tech and entertainment companies around compensating AI spin-offs to become standard in the near future, especially given the fact right of publicity laws vary widely from state to state, and federal legislation is still only in the very early stages of being developed.

“Whoever gets paid for [their voice clone] will be happy because they’ll be able to sit at home and not have to go to a recording session. Other people will have fun using those Clones.

Even if you didn’t watch last weekend’s episode of Saturday Night Live, you still probably saw it. You may already even know what “it” I’m talking about: Timothée Chalamet, and other similarly-dressed cast members, booty-shaking in tiny little red undies. The sketch says that he was, in fact, an Australian YouTube twink turned independent pop star and model turnedHb network actor who was being played by an American actor who cannot do an Australian accent. Chalamet and his cohort were Troye Sivan Sleep Demons, and they’d been haunting straight women all over the place. It was funny and the worst Sivan impression to come out this week.

The most creative work shouldn’t be like this, it should be difficult, that’s what I freak out about. To borrow from A League of Their Own’s Jimmy Dugan, “It’s supposed to be hard. Everyone is going to do it if it isn’t. The hard is what makes it great. Asking a machine to write a song about fishing is a great way to make fun of it, but it isn’t good for the song because it’s just full of her attitude. To borrow again, from a sign hoisted during the Hollywood writers strike, “ChatGPT doesn’t have childhood trauma.”
