Listen: Google's music-writing AI bot that 'could trick exam setters'

Nello Cristianini, a professor of AI at the University of Bath, said AI has been associated with the creation of music as far back as 1980, however MusicLM is the "most advanced" yet. "It is clearly going to be used, and useful, and controversial too," Prof Cristianini said. "This technology is still unexplored, and we have not tested its legal ramifications." "If you're two musicians who are tasked with composing a piece, and they both happen to stumble across the same AI and happen to put in the same form of words, then presumably they're going to come up with the same product," he said. "I just don't know how you'd unpick AI versus AI?"
