Spotify, Merlin과 함께 AI 커버 합법화
Spotify는 Merlin 및 UMG와 협력해 30,000개 이상의 레이블을 위한 동의 기반 AI 리믹스 도구를 출시한다. 무단 AI 트랙이 시장에 범람하는 가운데 유료 합법 대안을 제시한다.
spotify revealed that merlin has joined universal music group to back its upcoming ai remix and cover tool, expanding the product's reach to over 30,000 independent labels and distributors. set for a limited research preview, the product will enable users to create fan-made covers and remixes only with artist consent, ensuring participating artists receive credit and compensation. this initiative positions spotify against the surge of unauthorized ai music, which deezer reports now comprises over 50% of daily uploads, by offering a legal, monetized pathway for interactive music. the launch is expected as a paid add-on, creating a new revenue stream for rights holders and addressing industry concerns about synthetic content.
