Summary
Spotify has partnered with Universal Music Group (UMG) to create a new tool that uses generative AI (AI that creates new content from patterns in training data) to let users make remixes and covers of songs from UMG's music catalog. The article expresses concern that this tool will make it even easier to flood the internet with AI-generated music covers, which already appear widely on platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.
