UMG and TikTok renew deal to combat AI music

By PulseAugur Editorial · [4 sources] ·

Universal Music Group (UMG) and TikTok have renewed their licensing agreement, which includes a commitment to remove unauthorized AI-generated music from the platform and improve artist attribution. This renewed deal addresses UMG's previous concerns about AI music and copyright, which led to a temporary removal of UMG's catalog from TikTok in 2024. The agreement is seen as a potential template for other platforms navigating the complexities of AI, intellectual property, and accountability, especially as regulatory bodies like the EU increase scrutiny on AI-generated content. AI

IMPACT Sets a precedent for music industry and tech platforms to manage AI-generated content and intellectual property.
