According to technology media outlet TechRadar, American musician Andre Romell Young, better known by his stage name Dr. Dre, recently openly acknowledged using AI in his music creation.
IT Home learned from the original report that Dr. Dre said: “This is an entirely new creative tool. I embrace it, and I can’t wait to see what it ultimately brings.”
He also compared AI tools with drum machines and synthesizers, saying that these tools, which are commonplace today, faced strong opposition when they first appeared.
Dr. Dre did not reveal how he uses AI in the interview. Therefore, it is unclear whether he uses AI to generate complete songs or only to separate different elements of existing songs.
Deezer recently said that half of the new music uploaded to its platform is AI-generated. Major music streaming platforms have begun introducing stricter rules for “AI slop.” For example, Tidal has made clear that purely AI-generated music is not eligible for royalties, while Spotify recently introduced AI labels to identify AI musicians disguised as real people.
