Hydra II, the responsible AI music
AI music is music composed entirely or in part by artificial intelligence. Powerful algorithms analyze mountains of existing music, absorbing its patterns and styles. This knowledge is then used to create entirely new pieces, pushing the boundaries of what music can be. It is important for AI music generators to use copyright-protected music for training. Hydra II by Rightsify, certified by Fairly Trained, demonstrates Rightsify's commitment to ethical AI practices and responsible innovation.
