Meta releases AI tool to create music from text

Meta Platforms on Wednesday introduced its open-source AI tool called AudioCraft that will help users create music and audio based on text prompts.

The AI tool is bundled with three models, AudioGen, EnCodec, and MusicGen, and works for music, sound, compression, and generation, Meta said.

MusicGen is trained using company-owned and specifically licenced music, it added.

Artists and industry experts have raised concerns over copyright violations as machine learning software works by recognizing and replicating patterns from data scraped from the web.

Earlier this year, Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL.O) introduced its own experimental audio-generating AI tool called MusicLM.
