China’s ByteDance ventures into AI-generated music
- Thursday | 25th July, 2019
The person with direct knowledge of the matter said “several members” of the team at AI startup Jukedeck had joined ByteDance after the company acquired some of the Jukedeck’s IP assets. ByteDance, Newton-Rex and Jukedeck – whose website has been taken offline – did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Wednesday. Its videos rely heavily on music, with users often setting comedy antics and dancing moves to popular tunes. Bloomberg reported in April that Universal Music, Sony Music and Warner Music have demanded more money for songs played on TikTok and Douyin. Music industry consultancy Music Ally, which was the first to report the shift of Jukedeck’s staff to ByteDance, said the British firm was one of the world’s leading AI-generated-music experts.
