UMG and TikTok Join Forces Against AI Music Abuse
UMG与TikTok联手打击AI音乐滥用
Universal Music Group (UMG) and TikTok have renewed their licensing agreement, pledging to remove unauthorized AI-generated music and improve crediting for artists and songwriters. The deal marks a major change after a 2024 dispute, when UMG temporarily pulled its music from TikTok over concerns about copyright protection and AI-generated content. As AI tools increasingly imitate artists’ voices and create fake songs, the music industry faces growing challenges. The agreement could become a model for handling AI, intellectual property, and platform responsibility. TikTok is also strengthening ties with the music industry through services such as TikTok for Artists, which provides promotional and performance data.
环球音乐集团（UMG）与TikTok续签授权协议，承诺删除未经授权的AI生成音乐，并改进音乐人和词曲作者的署名机制。这项协议标志着双方关系的转变。2024年，因版权保护和AI音乐问题，UMG曾暂时下架其在TikTok上的音乐作品。随着AI工具越来越容易模仿歌手声音并制作虚假歌曲，音乐行业面临更大挑战。该协议可能成为科技行业处理AI、知识产权和平台责任问题的参考范例。TikTok也正通过“TikTok for Artists”等服务加强与音乐产业合作。
