The report outlines the challenges and opportunities brought by AI in content creation, focusing on issues like copyright, consumer attitudes, and the evolving landscape of AI-driven services. ## Main Points ### Music Industry - **AI Artists and Songs**: AI-generated music has gained traction, with several AI artists (e.g., Xania Monet, Breaking Rust) achieving substantial streaming success and even chart appearances. These artists often use platforms like Suno and Udio to generate music. - **Consumer Comfort**: U.S. consumers are generally uncomfortable with AI use in music, especially with fully AI-generated songs or performances. However, a third of listeners are indifferent, and some are somewhat comfortable, particularly with AI-assisted elements like lyrics or instruments. - **Generational Trends**: Younger generations (Gen Alpha and Gen Z) show the most negative sentiment toward AI music, with a significant drop in comfort from May to November 2025. Older generations, like Boomers, are even more anti-AI. - **Copyright Issues**: Major lawsuits have been filed against AI companies like Suno and Udio for unauthorized use of copyrighted material in training AI models. These legal battles highlight the need for clear licensing and compensation frameworks. - **Licensing Deals**: In 2025, several licensing agreements were formed between music companies and AI developers, aiming to ensure rights holders are compensated. These include deals with Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, and others. - **Authorized Remixing**: AI music apps are introducing features that allow users to remix, mash up, or manipulate songs using licensed content, creating new monetization opportunities for artists and rights holders. ### Film & TV Industry - **Consumer Comfort**: There is widespread discomfort among U.S. consumers with AI use in film and TV production, especially when it involves replacing real actors with digital replicas or using entirely synthetic actors. - **Acceptable AI Uses**: Some AI applications are more accepted, such as visual effects, sound effects, and dubbing. About a third of viewers are indifferent to AI use in these areas. - **Generational Differences**: Older audiences (Boomers) are more opposed to AI in film and TV production than younger generations. However, there is still a net negative sentiment across all age groups. - **AI in Production**: AI is being integrated into production workflows, raising concerns about the impact on the workforce and the authenticity of content. Studios are exploring partnerships and licensing strategies to manage these changes. ## Key Information ### AI Music Artists | AI Artist | Human Creator | Main Genre | Billboard Chart Appearances | AI Song Releases Start Date | Total U.S. Catalog Streams | |------------------|---------------------|----------------|------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------|----------------------------| | Xania Monet | Telisha "Nikki" Jones | R&B/Hip-Hop | Adult R&B Airplay, R&B Digital Song Sales | Aug 2025 | 117.24M | | Breaking Rust | Aubierre Rivaldo Taylor | Country | Emerging Artists, Country Digital Song Sales | Oct 2025 | 71.33M | | Ruby Darkrose | Unidentified | Pop | N/A | Mar 2025 | 71.16M | | Georgia Phantom | Unidentified | Rap | N/A | Apr 2025 | 48.30M | | Cain Walker | Unidentified | Country | Emerging Artists, Country Digital Song Sales | Sep 2025 | 40.50M | | Drew Meadows | Unidentified | Country | N/A | May 2025 | 32.86M | | Nick Hustles | Nick Arter | R&B/Hip-Hop | N/A | Dec 2024 | 32.75M | | King Willonius | Willonius Hatcher | Comedy | N/A | Apr 2024 | 27.01M | | Unbound Music | Terrance LeDoux | Country | Emerging Artists, Rock Digital Song Sales | Aug 2024 | 26.34M | | Solomon Ray | Christopher "Topher" Townsend | Gospel/Soul | Hot Gospel Songs, Gospel Digital Song Sales | Oct 2024 | 17.92M | | Aventhis | David Vieira | Country | Country Digital Song Sales | Mar 2025 | 13.82M | | Juno Skye | Nguyen Duc Nam | Pop | Emerging Artists | May 2025 | 12.58M | | Enlly Blue | Thong Viet | Blues | Emerging Artists, Rock Digital Song Sales | Aug 2025 | 5.73M | ### AI Music Services | AI Developer | Launch Date | Music Partners | Remix Features | |--------------|------------|----------------|----------------| | Udio | Dec 2025 | WMG | Licensed remixing, restricted off-platform downloads | | KLAY Vision | TBA | UMG, WMG, SME | Subscription-based interactive AI music streaming | | Spotify | TBA | SMG, UMG, WMG | AI-powered remix features in Music Pro tier | | Hook | Sep 2024 | 16 music partners | AI remix app with social sharing features | ### Consumer Comfort with AI in Music | Category | Very Comfortable | Somewhat Comfortable | Indifferent | Somewhat Uncomfortable | Very Uncomfortable | |----------|------------------|----------------------|-------------|------------------------|--------------------| | Song lyrics | 10% | 19% | 30% | 14% | 16% | | Song instrumentals | 10% | 16% | 29% | 16% | 6% | | New original song composed by AI | 9% | 15% | 30% | 14% | 9% | | New original song performed by an AI voice | 9% | 15% | 27% | 15% | 8% | | New original song performed in the style/sound of a human artist | 9% | 14% | 27% | 15% | 6% | ### Consumer Comfort with AI in Film & TV Production | Category | Very Comfortable | Somewhat Comfortable | Indifferent | Somewhat Uncomfortable | Very Uncomfortable | |----------|------------------|----------------------|-------------|------------------------|--------------------| | Sound effects | 15% | 23% | 35% | 10% | 17% | | High-quality special effects | 14% | 25% | 31% | 10% | 19% | | Seamless dubbed version | 13% | 21% | 35% | 11% | 21% | | Illustrations used in animation | 12% | 24% | 35% | 10% | 19% | | Design for a new character | 12% | 17% | 36% | 13% | 21% | | Voiceover narration | 11% | 19% | 34% | 14% | 23% | | Theme music or original score | 11% | 18% | 33% | 14% | 23% | | Scripts/screenplays | 9% | 16% | 33% | 15% | 28% | | Digital replica of a deceased human actor | 9% | 15% | 28% | 14% | 33% | | Digital replica of a living human actor | 8% | 14% | 28% | 16% | 35% | | Entirely synthetic actor | 8% | 14% | 30% | 14% | 34% | ## Conclusion The integration of generative AI in the music, film, and television industries is reshaping content creation and consumption. While AI-generated music has seen significant growth and some legal challenges, the music industry is actively forming licensing agreements to address these concerns.

As AI continues to evolve, the focus will be on balancing innovation with ethical considerations and ensuring rights holders are fairly compensated.
