Voice Startup ElevenLabs Launches AI Music Service
New model allows customers to create music with AI that is cleared for commercial use. But AI-generated music still faces legal battles and stiff opposition from artists.
Startup ElevenLabs said it has launched a new service called Eleven Music that lets individuals and businesses generate their own music with its artificial intelligence model.
Users enter a prompt in plain English, such as “create a smooth jazz song with a ‘60s vibe and powerful lyrics, but relaxing for a Friday afternoon,” and the startup’s AI model generates a tune within minutes, complete with vocals and instrumentals.
With the launch, ElevenLabs—best known for its voice generation software—enters a fraught sphere where major music labels have already sued two music-generation startups, Suno and Udio, for their alleged use of copyrighted works to train their AI.
