A study conducted by music associations in France and Germany shows that more than two-thirds of musicians are concerned about AI threatening their ability to earn a living. 35% of respondents stated that they have already used AI in music creation-related fields. Experts estimate that by 2028, musicians' incomes will decline by 27%, equivalent to about 2.7 billion euros (2.9 billion dollars). 95% of respondents demand more transparency from companies developing AI tools.

YouTube is developing AI-driven tools that allow users to imitate the voices of musicians. YouTube has approached music companies to obtain song licenses to train the new tools. Discussions around the tools help address potential copyright issues related to AI-generated music. YouTube aims to become a partner in the industry utilizing generative AI; however, it is unclear whether providing creators with AI voice tools will lead to copyright disputes.
