Warner Music Group and Stability AI today announced a collaborative effort to advance the use of responsible AI in music creation, combining WMG’s long-standing advocacy for principled innovation with Stability AI’s expertise and leadership in commercially-safe generative audio.

The initiative will focus on developing professional-grade tools that enable artists, songwriters, and producers to experiment, compose, and produce using ethically trained models. It will unlock new forms of creative expression while protecting creators’ rights and opening new pathways for revenue. The two companies will work directly with artists to understand how they interact with emerging technologies, shaping next-generation tools that enhance their creative process without compromising quality or artistic control.

Carletta Higginson, EVP, Chief Digital Officer, WMG, said: “This collaboration represents an important step toward developing responsible, artist-friendly AI tools that expand creative possibilities while safeguarding the rights and integrity of music creators. Together, we’re laying the groundwork for an ethical music ecosystem that benefits artists and songwriters.”

Prem Akkaraju, CEO, Stability AI, said: “WMG is a leader in the global music and entertainment landscape, and we’re proud to partner with a company that shares our Artist First ethos. At Stability AI we put artists at the center and build tools that support their creative process. This partnership deepens that focus and will open new creative possibilities for artists through generative AI.”
