Google's Stance on AI Training with YouTube Music

Google has asserted its right to use music uploaded to YouTube for AI training purposes, responding to a copyright infringement lawsuit filed by independent artists concerning its music AI model, Lyria. The company argues that by uploading their music, artists implicitly granted permission for its use in AI development. Consequently, Google contends that the artists' lawsuit should be dismissed.
