What Is AI-Generated Music?

AI-generated music is music created by computer systems that use AI algorithms to compose music without human intervention. The process involves feeding a computer program a large dataset of existing music, using machine learning to analyze the music's patterns and structures, and using the analysis to generate new compositions.

What are the advantages of AI-generated music?

One advantage of using AI for music creation is efficiency. AI algorithms can generate new music in minutes, while human composers may take days or weeks. However, some say that AI-generated music bases songs on trends and older music, not actual emotion.

What is the legal status of AI-generated music?

In the U.S., the Copyright Office requires that all works registered for copyright have a human author. If a machine creates the work's elements of authorship, such as originality, creativity, and fixation, then it is not protected by copyright.
