Summary
YouTube is rolling out a new AI tool to provide instrumental tracks free of copyright concerns to video creators, as demonstrated in a company video posted on its Creator Insider channel.
The tool, called Music assistant, is available in the Creator Music beta section and asks the user for a prompt, such as the desired mood of the track, to generate a selection of possible songs.
It is one of several AI music-generating tools from other companies, such as Stability AI, Meta’s AudioCraft and MusicGen.
YouTube has previously experimented with AI music features, such as a music remixer for Shorts and Dream Track, which turns humming into music tracks in an artist’s style.
It is gradually rolling Music assistant out to users.
