John Legend and Sia among singers to trial AI versions of voices with YouTube

The Guardian

YouTube has teamed up with music artists including John Legend and Sia to offer AI-generated versions of their singing voices as soundtracks for creator videos. The Google-owned video platform is using a music generation model created by the search company's AI unit to produce the unique 30-second clips in a limited trial. The nine artists are: Alec Benjamin, Charlie Puth, Charli XCX, Demi Lovato, John Legend, Sia, T-Pain, Troye Sivan and Papoose. YouTube said the experiment, called Dream Track, has been opened to a small group of US creators using its Shorts feature – the platform's answer to TikTok. In a blogpost, YouTube said creators would be able to produce a 30-second soundtrack by typing a text prompt.
