  • YouTube has unveiled a new AI experiment for the platform.
  • Dream Track will let users type out an idea and then select from a carousel of artists to create a 30-second YouTube Shorts soundtrack featuring that artist’s voice.
  • YouTube is also creating a music AI tool that will allow you to do things like turn your humming into a guitar riff.

Yesterday YouTube announced that Premium subscribers would be able to get access to both its AI chatbot and generative AI tool for summarizing comment sections. But that wasn’t the only AI news the site had to share, apparently. The platform is also launching some AI tools for music-centric creators to play with.

In a blog post, YouTube announced it was introducing a new experimental AI tool for YouTube Shorts called Dream Track. The company says the tool uses “Google DeepMind’s most advanced music generation model to date, Lyria.” It has also partnered with nine artists for the experiment, including Alec Benjamin, Charlie Puth, Charli XCX, Demi Lovato, John Legend, Papoose, Sia, T-Pain, and Troye Sivan.
