Warner Music and AI Firm Udio End Fight Start Partnership

From courtroom opponents to creative partners, Warner Music Group and AI firm Udio have settled their copyright dispute. They are now collaborating on a new licensed music creation service. Launching in 2026, Udio’s platform will run on AI models trained with authorized music from WMG’s catalog, creating a system where artists and songwriters are paid for their work. The service will let fans make new songs and remixes using the voices of artists who choose to participate. This agreement establishes a framework for monetizing generative AI in music while protecting copyrights, representing a significant shift in the industry.
