Summary
Universal Music Group said Thursday its new AI platform will let users create remixes, mashups and new versions from licensed songs in its catalog.
A multi-year licensing deal with ElevenLabs underpins the service, which UMG said is designed to give artists and songwriters new fan experiences while ensuring compensation.
Artists can opt in to the platform, and the companies said the partnership could expand into additional AI products and fan experiences over the coming months and years.
The launch adds to UMG’s broader AI push, including work with Udio and licensing deals with Spotify, Nvidia and Klay, as labels race to build tools around authorized music.
