UNIVERSAL MUSIC LAUNCHES AI PLATFORM WITH ELEVENLABS

The new platform will let creators draw from Universal's music library to produce remixes, mashups, and original interpretations of existing tracks. The deal gives artists the option to participate—they can choose whether their work appears on the platform. ElevenLabs specializes in AI voice and music generation technology. The partnership represents Universal Music's continued expansion into AI-driven creative tools, following earlier initiatives in the space. Details on launch timing, specific features, and compensation structures for participating artists remain limited. The announcement underscores ongoing industry collaboration between major record labels and AI startups, as the music sector navigates new generative AI capabilities. Universal's move comes amid broader music industry discussions around AI training, artist consent, and fair compensation models.
