UMG urges streaming sites to block AI-generated music.

The music industry has warned streaming platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music, not to allow artificial intelligence (AI) to use copyrighted songs for training. The industry fears that AI labs will scrape millions of tracks to use as training data for their models and create copycat versions of pop stars. The move follows a similar warning from the Recording Industry Association of America last October. The AI sector's explosive growth has been threatened by arguments over intellectual property.
