The generative AI music tool ProducerAI will become part of Google Labs, the company announced<\/a> on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Backed by The Chainsmokers, the ProducerAI platform allows users to write natural language requests \u2014 something like \u201cmake a lofi beat\u201d\u2013 to generate music. It uses Google DeepMind\u2019s Lyria 3<\/a> music-generation model, which can turn text and even image inputs into audio outputs.<\/p>\n

Google announced last week that its Lyria 3<\/a> capabilities would be introduced into the flagship Gemini app, but ProducerAI makes it possible for users to communicate with the AI model more like it\u2019s a \u201ccollaboration partner,\u201d to use the words of Elias Roman, Google Labs\u2019 senior director of Product Management.<\/p>\n

\u201cProducerAI has allowed me to create in new ways,\u201d Roman wrote in the blog post. \u201cI\u2019ve experimented with new genre blends, expressed how I feel with personalized birthday songs for my loved ones, and made custom workout soundtracks for myself and friends.\u201d<\/p>\n

Google also shared that three-time Grammy-winning rapper Wyclef Jean used the Lyria 3 model and Google\u2019s Music AI Sandbox on his recent song \u201cBack From Abu Dhabi<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is not just a machine where you\u2019re clicking a button a hundred times, and then you\u2019re done. It\u2019s a careful kind of curation where you\u2019re going through and saying, \u2018Oh, I think that\u2019s something we can use,\u2019\u201d said Jeff Chang, director of Product Management at Google DeepMind, in a video<\/a> the company put out.<\/p>\n

Jean recalls wanting to know what a flute would sound like in a track he already recorded, and being able to use Google\u2019s tools to quickly add a flute sound to the mix. <\/p>\n

Techcrunch event<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBoston, MA
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t|
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tJune 9, 2026\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I want everybody to understand [\u2026] is you\u2019re in the era where the human has to be the most creative,\u201d Jean said in the video. \u201cThere\u2019s one thing that you have over the AI: a soul. And there\u2019s one thing that AI has over you: the infinite information.\u201d<\/p>\n

AI in the music industry<\/p>\n

Some musicians have ardently opposed the use of AI tools<\/a> in the music-making process, since it\u2019s almost a given that a generative AI tool was trained on copyrighted data from artists without their consent. Hundreds of musicians, including stars like Billie Eilish, Katy Perry, and Jon Bon Jovi, signed an open letter in 2024 calling on tech companies not to undermine human creativity with AI music-generation tools.<\/p>\n

A cohort of music publishers also recently sued<\/a> the AI company Anthropic for $3 billion, claiming that the company illegally downloaded more than 20,000 copyrighted songs, including sheet music, song lyrics, and musical compositions. (Anthropic was already ordered by the court to offer a $1.5 billion<\/a> settlement to authors whose books were pirated for AI training.)<\/p>\n

Other artists, however, have embraced the potential of this technology as a way to improve audio quality, rather than as a creative aid.<\/p>\n

Paul McCartney used AI-powered noise reduction systems<\/a> \u2014 the kind of technology that allows Zoom or FaceTime to block out unwanted background noises on your video calls \u2014 to clean up a decades-old, low-quality John Lennon demo. The resulting \u201cnew\u201d Beatles track, \u201cNow and Then<\/a>,\u201d won a Grammy in 2025.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, AI music-generation tools like Suno have created synthetic music that sounds real enough to top charts on Spotify and Billboard. Telisha Jones, a 31-year-old in Mississippi, used Suno to turn her (supposedly organic) poetry into the viral R&B song \u201cHow Was I Supposed to Know<\/a>\u201d and signed a record deal with Hallwood Media in a deal reportedly worth\u00a0$3 million<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The law remains unclear on the legality of using copyrighted works as training data \u2014 one federal judge, William Alsup, ruled last year<\/a> that training on copyrighted data is legal, but pirating it is not. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The generative AI music tool ProducerAI will become part of Google Labs, the company announced on Tuesday.
