Ethical considerations As AI moves deeper into the creative arts, the question of ethics and artist protection comes to the fore.
Google DeepMind has addressed this head-on by emphasising that Lyria 3 is intended to enhance human creativity rather than replace it. To this end, the development team has worked closely with industry legends such as Wyclef Jean and innovative producers like Yung Spielburg. These collaborations, fostered through initiatives like the Music AI
Sandbox, have helped shape the guardrails of the technology, ensuring it serves as a musical collaborator that respects the craft.
Safety is further bolstered by the implementation of SynthID, Google’ s proprietary watermarking technology. Every track generated through the Gemini app or within specialised developer tools is embedded with an imperceptible watermark. This allows for the identification of AI-generated content even if the audio has been edited, compressed or re-recorded.
