The Atlantic created a searchable database of the music used to train AI

The Atlantic, through reporter Alex Reisner, has developed a searchable database that exposes the music used in four major datasets for training AI models. These datasets contain millions of tracks, including works by high-profile artists like Lady Gaga and Radiohead. Reisner notes that many of these tracks are accessed via automated tools that bypass YouTube and Spotify's terms of service, often stripping creators of revenue and engagement. Major AI companies, including Google and Stability, have acknowledged using such data in their research, raising significant ethical and legal concerns regarding copyright and commercial licensing.
