Google won't just admit it's feeding YouTube creators to its music AI
A group of independent musicians is suing Google, claiming the company trained its Lyria 3 music-generation AI on their songs uploaded to YouTube without permission or pay. Google has filed a motion to dismiss, arguing that YouTube's terms of service already grant it a broad license to use those uploads, and that the musicians have not proven their specific works were used. Notably, Google has not directly confirmed whether it trained Lyria on the songs in question.
