YouTube debuts AI tool that mimics vocals of artists like John Legend, Demi Lovato
Summary
YouTube is launching a new tool powered by artificial intelligence that will allow users to record audio using the voices of some of todays most famous musicians, the company announced Thursday. It will be limited to YouTube Shorts, the platforms short-form video sharing feature which rivals TikTok, owned by Chinese technology giant ByteDance. In a blog post Thursday, YouTube executives said, "AI has brought music to the cusp of a new creative era," and the platform hopes its approach will be "defined by partnership and responsibility." The launch of Dream Track is a part of a suite of AI-related experiments that parent company Google has rolled out in recent months as it aims to get ahead of the emergence of AI technology.
