The National Music Publishers’ Association has agreed an industry-wide AI licensing deal with the AI music platform Udio. NMPA President and CEO David Israelite announced the deal on Wednesday (June 10). He also unveiled an agreement in principle with a second AI music platform, KLAY. Israelite said the Udio agreement is the first industry-wide licensing deal struck with a major AI music company, and the first to “value songs and sound recordings equally” when it comes to AI training.
