UMG Urges Streaming Services to Halt AI Infringement of Music Copyrights

Universal Music Group is requesting major streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music to block artificial intelligence companies from using its music to "train" their technology. The process involves the AI companies uploading copyrighted music from the platforms into their technology and thus enabling the bots to digest the lyrics and music and then essentially create songs or melodies in those styles. UMG has been sending takedown requests to the streamers "left and right."
