Screen composers are among the Australian creatives that have told a Senate inquiry they want laws to protect their livelihoods against artificial intelligence.
"The AI just kind of creates this smoothie, grey goo… a thing that sounds like music but it's homogenous," he says."It doesn't have any of that intention that usually comes from human beings going, 'we want to say this'." "I was just with some screen composers last weekend and one of the exciting examples was they said 'hey, let's try to generate some music or the mood for when a hand is emerging from a grave in a darkly lit graveyard'," he says.
Mr Sanchez said he couldn't go into detail about how Udio's model was trained, due to the on-going litigation, but compared it to human learning. The guild is calling for composers to be compensated for any use of their work by AI companies and for permission to be sought before it's used.
