YouTube Shorts Challenges TikTok With Music-Making AI for Creators
Wired
·
1y ago
Medial
Google is introducing a new AI feature called Dream Track on YouTube Shorts, which generates songs with lyrics, melody, and accompaniment in the styles of seven different artists. Creators simply need to enter a prompt and select an artist, and Dream Track will generate a 30-second clip. The AI tool aims to compete with TikTok's popular AI tools for adding visual and audio effects. YouTube is also exploring ways to compensate artists whose work helped train the music-generating algorithms. The AI algorithm, Lyria, was developed by Google DeepMind.

YouTube is now allowing creators to add and remix music videos in their Shorts, in a move that appears to be a response to TikTok's ongoing music licensing dispute with Universal Music Group (UMG). TikTok recently lost access to tracks from artists like Taylor Swift and Drake, while YouTube still has access to UMG's libraries. This new feature gives YouTube an advantage over TikTok, as it allows creators to make Shorts using music videos as backgrounds and incorporate clips from those videos.

YouTube has announced that more than 1 in 4 creators in its Partner Program are now earning money with YouTube Shorts. This amounts to roughly 750,000 Shorts creators out of over 3 million creators in YouTube's ad sharing program. Shorts have been growing in popularity, with the number of Shorts uploaded on YouTube growing by 50% year over year. However, Shorts still lacks the influence and user base of TikTok. YouTube believes that Shorts' connection to the wider YouTube ecosystem gives it an edge on competitors, as users can easily transition from watching Shorts to watching full-length videos or subscribing to channels.
