Universal Music Group and Uncharted Labs, the company behind AI platform Udio, have recently reached a settlement. UMG filed the copyright infringement lawsuit in June 2024. Capitol Records, Sony Music Entertainment, Arista Music, Warner Records, and several other offshoots of these big-time entertainment companies also joined.
In an industry first, Udio and UMG are forging a partnership to produce a fully licensed AI music platform. According to a press release from UMG, it will be powered by “new cutting-edge generative AI technology that will be trained on authorized and licensed music.”
Launching in 2026, the idea is to be a “new commercial music creation, consumption and streaming experience” that will “provide further revenue opportunities for UMG artists and songwriters.”
