Warner Music Group announced a licensing agreement with AI music startup Klay Vision in November 2025, granting the company access to WMG's recorded music and publishing catalogs to train a large music model for an AI-driven subscription music platform.
Details
Klay is building a subscription service that allows users to interact with and remix music in new ways, using a large music model trained exclusively on licensed music from all three major labels. WMG's agreement with Klay — announced alongside similar deals from Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment — is intended to let Klay build an AI-driven music experience while fully respecting artist and songwriter rights. The platform is described by WMG as a tool to 'uplift great artists and celebrate their craft' rather than replace human creativity.
