KLAY, an emerging AI platform, has announced licensing deals with three major music companies - Universal Music Group (UMG), Sony Music, and Warner Music Group (WMG) - for recorded music and publishing rights. The subscription-based interactive streaming service aims to provide users with a unique experience of manipulating music.
Founded by musician Ary Attie and former Sony Music executive Thomas Hesse, KLAY has assembled a top-notch team, including chief AI officer BjΓΆrn Winckler and chief technology officer Brian Whitman. The company's mission is to help people experience more of the music they love in new ways while creating value for artists and songwriters.
KLAY's platform focuses on providing an ethical solution for AI-generated music, rather than replacing human artists. Users will be able to create new music with the help of AI, while ensuring participating artists and songwriters receive proper recognition and rewards. The company emphasizes its commitment to protecting artists' rights and preserving the value of music.
The deals signed by KLAY mark a significant step forward for the platform, which is set to launch in the coming months. UMG's Michael Nash expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, praising KLAY's transformational vision and commitment to ethical AI-generated music. Sony Music's Dennis Kooker highlighted the importance of proper licenses from rightsholders to build next-generation AI music experiences. WMG's Carletta Higginson emphasized her company's goal of supporting artists while fiercely protecting their rights.
As KLAY continues to develop its platform, it remains to be seen how this emerging technology will shape the music industry in the future. However, with the support of major music companies and a commitment to ethics, KLAY is poised to become a significant player in the rapidly evolving world of AI-generated music.
