Google Quietly Trains Music AI on YouTube Content

Independent musicians are suing Google, alleging the company illegally used their YouTube-uploaded songs to train its Lyria 3 music AI model without permission. Google has filed a response but refuses to directly confirm or deny the practice. Experts suggest that if you have uploaded music to YouTube, Google likely considers it fair game for AI training. The lawsuit highlights growing tensions between AI developers and creators over the use of publicly available content for machine learning purposes.
