Google won’t just admit it’s feeding YouTube creators to its music AI

A group of independent musicians has filed a lawsuit against Google, claiming the company used their songs uploaded to YouTube to train the Lyria 3 model without permission. Google has requested the case be dismissed, arguing that the allegations lack evidence and asserting that the plaintiffs granted YouTube a broad license to use the uploaded content. This case underscores the growing tensions between independent artists and major companies over intellectual property rights and the use of content in training AI models, potentially impacting how the industry manages uploaded content in the future.
