Google has stated that music uploaded to YouTube is available for its AI training models, including Lyria. This position was presented in response to a copyright infringement lawsuit filed by independent artists. Google's argument is that by uploading content to YouTube, the artists granted permission for its use in AI training, and thus the lawsuit should be dismissed.
