YouTube is piloting a new AI-powered feature that empowers creators to “restyle” licensed songs for their Shorts. A select group of creators can input prompts, such as desired mood or genre, to generate unique 30-second soundtracks. This expansion of YouTube’s Dream Track AI tool allows creators to transform existing songs into fresh, personalized audio.

YouTube has clarified that restyled tracks will clearly attribute the original song and indicate AI involvement. Additionally, Dream Track has previously enabled creators to utilize AI-generated voices of renowned artists like Charlie Puth, Charli XCX, Demi Lovato, and John Legend.
While specific details about the available songs and music label partnerships remain undisclosed, a June report from the Financial Times suggests YouTube has engaged with major labels to potentially use their music for AI model training.
Well update the story as more information becomes available.
