Universal Music Group (UMG) and Splice have agreed to collaborate on joint exploration of the next generation of AI-powered music creation tools for musical artists. UMG and Splice are building a roadmap for development of commercial AI tools rooted in creative control and artistic excellence. The artist-centric agreement builds on Splice's suite of AI-enabled creator tools, which continue to respect intellectual property, and combine high-quality creative ingredients.
Bringing the world's leading home for artists together with the ubiquitous music creation platform will provide a pathway for UMG and Splice to create advanced commercial AI tools that can deliver high fidelity and precise expression of artistic intent. Guided by a shared commitment to creative expression and artistic empowerment, the partnership will also explore AI-powered virtual instruments and tools that enable UMG artists to bring their own sounds into Splice's AI workflows. UMG artists are expected to play a crucial role in guiding the product development process.
