Universal Music signs deal to train Artificial Intelligence for high-fidelity music production.

Universal Music, the largest music company globally, has partnered with AI start-up Soundlabs to develop "official ultra-high fidelity vocal models" using artists' own voice data. This collaboration allows artists like Jon Bon Jovi to create new music with AI-generated vocals, retaining ownership and artistic control over the output.

Universal Music stated, "It empowers artists and producers to explore bleeding-edge vocal transformations, including voice-to-voice, voice-to-instrument, speech-to-singing, language transposition, and a myriad of previously impossible vocal transformations. Together, UMG and SoundLabs are collaborating to allow UMG artists to create custom vocal models that will be available for their exclusive creative use cases, and not available to the general public."
