According to DeepLearning.AI, Udio has reached a settlement with Universal Music Group (UMG) resulting in the creation of a paid AI-powered platform where fans can generate and remix tracks using UMG artists' content, under specific artist-set rules such as voice and style usage and permissions for mashups (source: DeepLearning.AI, The Batch). Artists will receive compensation both for the use of their work in AI model training and for each generated or remixed track. The generated music is restricted to sharing within the platform, with no external downloads or streaming allowed. This settlement pioneers a new business model in the AI music generation industry, offering both copyright protection and monetization opportunities for artists while providing fans with creative engagement tools (source: DeepLearning.AI, The Batch).
