spotify Removed “tens of thousands” of songs created by artificial intelligence (AI) platform and strengthened the surveillance system to detect such files and fraudulent activities.
Streaming music service confirms this These songs belonged to Boomy, A company that offers its users the ability to create songs from scratch and in various styles with AI.
created two years ago Based in California (United States), this ‘startup’ enables its users to “create original songs in seconds” and its technology to develop more than 14 million audio tracks.
Someone familiar with the matter assured the Financial Times: Spotify removed about 7 percent of tracks uploaded through Boomy, That’s the equivalent of “tens of thousands of songs” after Universal Music Group (UMG) warned of strange behavior in reproducing these songs.
Specifically, according to another source close to the situation, a kind of “artificial transfer”, namely songs created by Boomy, was noticed recording online ‘bots’ disguised as listeners.
The platform, on its behalf, endorsed this newspaper Removed some content from Boomy and that it continues to work to delete everything AI-generated from its service.
It should be noted that Universal Music, which covered a significant part of the record market in the middle of last month, urged both this platform and Apple Music to block the training of AI models because they would be infringing the copyright of the songs they used with it.
This isn’t the first time industry professionals have raised concerns about these practices, since a group of artists sued Stability AI, DevianArt, and Midjourney a few months ago for copyright infringement on artwork created, this time with Stable Diffusion.
