Warner Music Group have decided to settle their copyright battle with Udio. Warner have now entered into a partnership to launch a new AI song creation service that will allow fans to remix songs by big artists like Ed Sheeran and Dua Lipa.

This is the second deal for Udio after Universal Music Group entered into a deal with them last month.

AI music is now taking the industry by storm. Fans are creating new songs with just prompts without any musical skills and these synthetic bands are reaching the charts without any real life presence.

Warner has said that this new system will be closed but if artists agree to use their work they will receive credit and payment for every remix or cover.

Sony Music Entertainment has not yet entered into a deal with Udio or Suno and still has a copyright case against them.

Warner has also entered into a partnership with Stability AI to create professional grade tools for producers and songwriters.

This means that AI is now a big part of the future of music and new revenue for artists and songwriters.
