Sony Music Group, Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, Merlin, and Believe to Partner With Spotify to Develop Artist-First AI Music Products 

A New Era of Music - Udio with Universal Music Group: Udio announces a partnership with UMG, marking a new chapter aimed at giving artists greater control over how AI is used in music and at enabling fans to collaborate and remix songs in fresh ways. The company outlines upcoming features, including artist-approved voice style creation and mash-ups, and explains the transition period during which some functionality will be paused in order to roll out these ambitious changes.

Sony Group tech can identify original music in AI-generated songs: Sony Group has developed a new technology that can detect and identify which original songs were used by AI systems to generate new music, estimating how much each source influenced the result and even working with or without cooperation from AI developers. The company hopes this tool can help songwriters and rights holders claim compensation or share in revenues from AI-generated music that uses their work.
