Google faces lawsuit over AI music training

Google is being sued by independent musicians who allege the company used their YouTube uploads to train its Lyria music AI model. The musicians claim this constitutes illegal use of their copyrighted material. Google has filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, arguing that the claims are based on an unproven hypothesis and that creators granted YouTube a broad license to use their content. This legal challenge highlights ongoing concerns about AI training data and intellectual property rights within the creative industries.
