YouTube Previews AI Music Tool for Shorts Creators and Artists

YouTube

YouTube previewed one of its early AI Music experiments. In collaboration with Google DeepMind, YouTube is testing Dream Track in YouTube Shorts.

This allows creators to generate a soundtrack for up to 30 seconds for their Shorts by typing a creation prompt and selecting from artists such as Charlie Puth, John Legend, Papoose, Sia, and T-Pain. This will generate original audio, including the backing track, the lyrics, and the voice and style of the selected artists.

Why It Matters: As one of YouTube’s initial forays into AI music tools, Dream Track in YouTube Shorts holds significant potential for creators and artists.

It empowers creators to craft original soundscapes, enhancing their short-form videos with contributions from top artists across genres. For artists, it allows them to embrace the emergence of AI-powered music in a controlled manner and benefit from discovery avenues and revenue streams, such as licensing deals and royalties.
