WMG Signs Deal With Stability AI

The companies will build “the next generation of responsible AI tools for music creation”

Hot on the heels of its Udio partnership, Warner Music Group (WMG) has announced a deal with Stability AI, the company that specializes in commercially safe generative AI. Universal Music Group (UMG) announced a similar collaboration in October.

How it works:

Hard to say exactly, as the announcement is more an intention to work together than a detailed plan.
However, as per WMG’s statement, the initiative will focus on developing “professional-grade tools that enable artists, songwriters, and producers to experiment, compose, and produce using ethically trained models.”
The companies will work with artists to understand how they interact with emerging technologies, shaping next-generation tools that enhance their creative process without compromising quality or artistic control.

Other deals:

Stability AI recently signed deals with Electronic Arts and advertising group WPP.

What they said:

Carletta Higginson, EVP, Chief Digital Officer, WMG: “This collaboration represents an important step toward developing responsible, artist-friendly AI tools that expand creative possibilities while safeguarding the rights and integrity of music creators. Together, we’re laying the groundwork for an ethical music ecosystem that benefits artists and songwriters.”
