Summary

Google has added music generation to its Gemini app using DeepMind's Lyria 3 model, which lets users create 30-second songs by describing what they want. The feature includes safeguards like SynthID watermarks (digital markers that identify AI-generated content) and filters to prevent mimicking existing artists, plus the ability for users to upload tracks and ask Gemini whether they are AI-generated.

Solution / Mitigation

Google has implemented SynthID watermarks to identify AI-generated music and added filters to check outputs against existing content to prevent artist mimicry. The company is also adding capabilities within Gemini to identify AI-generated music, allowing users to upload tracks and ask if they are AI-generated.
