YouTube's New AI Tool 'Dream Track' Generates Music in Artists' Voices

The tool, created in partnership with Google's AI lab, DeepMind, is currently available to a select group of US creators on YouTube Shorts.

YouTube has launched a new AI tool called 'Dream Track' that generates music tracks sung by popular artists like John Legend and Demi Lovato.
Dream Track is currently available to a select group of US creators on YouTube Shorts, where they can type a prompt to produce a 30-second audio clip featuring the AI-generated voice of a selected artist.
The tool was created in partnership with Google's AI lab, DeepMind, and uses its most advanced AI music generation model, Lyria.
Despite the potential of AI in music creation, the tool has sparked controversy, with critics arguing it devalues music and threatens the livelihood of artists.
YouTube has addressed potential concerns by developing a set of AI music principles and using a rights management technology called Content ID to ensure copyright owners get paid for the use of their content.
