YouTube is currently developing an AI-powered tool that allows users to replicate the voice of famous musicians while recording audio, according to a new report by Bloomberg.
According to Bloomberg’s report, YouTube had hoped to include its new audio cloning tool among those announcements but was unable to secure the required rights in time.
It isn’t currently clear if the discussions behind YouTube’s AI voice cloning tool will help soothe potential copyright issues being raised by record labels amid the rise in AI-generated tracks that emulate popular musicians.
While some musicians like Grimes have embraced AI-generated music, many others, including Sting, John Legend, and Selena Gomez, have called for regulations to protect their voices from being replicated without consent.
AI-generated music (much like other variants of generative AI) currently sits in something of a legal gray area due to the difficulties in establishing ownership rights over songs that replicate an artist’s unique voice but don’t directly feature protected lyrics or audio recordings.
It remains to be seen if it can legally provide YouTube creators with AI voice replication tools without sparking numerous copyright lawsuits.
