TikTok Tests New “AI-Generated Music” Feature to Avoid Copyright Issues. The social media platform TikTok is testing a tool that lets users add AI-created music to videos without copyright problems. The feature is designed to help creators avoid legal issues linked to copyrighted songs. TikTok confirmed the test in a statement today. The tool uses artificial intelligence to produce original music tracks based on user prompts. Users can type descriptions like “upbeat pop” or “calm jazz,” and the system generates matching audio.

The company said the goal is to give creators more freedom while respecting music rights. A TikTok spokesperson explained the feature is still in early testing. They said feedback from users will shape future updates. TikTok has partnered with major music labels and artists to ensure the AI tool follows industry standards. The partnerships aim to balance innovation with fair treatment of musicians.
The AI music tool works by analyzing patterns in existing songs but does not copy them directly. TikTok stressed the generated music is unique and avoids copyright infringement. Legal experts warn AI-generated content could still face challenges. They note laws around AI and copyright remain unclear in many regions. TikTok said it is working with legal teams to address potential risks.
Creators in select regions can now test the feature. TikTok plans to expand access if the trial succeeds. The move follows growing pressure on platforms to tackle copyright violations. Many users currently rely on unlicensed music, leading to removed videos or account penalties. The new tool could reduce these issues by offering a library of safe, AI-made tracks.
Music industry groups have mixed reactions. Some praise the effort to prevent copyright breaches. Others worry AI music might reduce demand for human-made songs. TikTok emphasized the tool will not replace artists. It aims to complement original music by giving creators more options.
