AI Music Creation Faces Legal Minefield Over Copyright Concerns
- Generative AI models can create music, but face copyright issues if they closely replicate existing songs
- Record labels are very litigious about unauthorized use of music, more so than with text or images
- AI developers may need to get copyright clearance or create original music to train models to avoid lawsuits
- Arguments that training on copyrighted content is "fair use" may not convince music publishers
- Unclear copyright laws around AI-generated content impede startups competing with big tech companies
