Google is now enabling its Gemini virtual assistant to create music using artificial intelligence technology. The tech giant is testing its latest music generation model, Lyria 3, which it claims is its most advanced to date, and it is now accessible through Gemini.
According to a statement on its official website, Lyria 3 allows users to express ideas, explore different styles, and experiment with high-resolution music simply by entering text prompts. This development underscores the increasing capabilities of AI in creative fields, offering new tools for musicians and artists.
The system is designed to generate compositions with natural-sounding transitions between sections. Google notes that the model’s development involved producers and musicians to ensure a comprehensive understanding of musicality, from rhythm to arrangement.
Users simply need to describe the desired song, adding any additional details as needed. The system handles the technical complexities, whereas users are given the freedom to explore new musical possibilities.
Lyria 3 is reportedly capable of producing coherent songs, exploring languages and genres from around the world, and even creating music based on uploaded images. The resulting audio is promised to meet professional quality standards.
SynthID – Teknologi deteksi kecerdasan buatan dari Google
Every track created through the Gemini application is embedded with SynthID, an invisible digital watermark designed to identify AI-generated content from Google. The company is likewise expanding its verification tools to the audio realm. Users can upload files and request if the material was generated by Google AI. Gemini will check for the presence of SynthID and conduct additional analysis before providing an answer.
The introduction of Lyria 3 has sparked questions regarding the training data used. A Google representative told Billboard that the company is mindful of copyright and partner agreements.
The company affirmed that the model was trained only on music that YouTube and Google are legally permitted to use, in accordance with terms of service, partner agreements, and applicable regulations. However, some users on X have expressed skepticism, urging the public to be critical of potential use of copyrighted works without clear licensing.
The launch of Lyria 3 comes amid a broader debate regarding AI and the music industry. Last month, Google also released Project Genie, a creation tool that garnered attention for being used by some to replicate popular games like The Legend Of Zelda, Mario, and Grand Theft Auto.

Meanwhile, streaming platforms are taking decisive action. Oliver Schusser, Vice President of Apple Music, revealed that the service has stopped monetizing two billion streams of music deemed fraudulent, representing approximately $17 million in royalties last year.
Deezer also announced it has stopped monetizing 85 percent of AI-generated songs on its platform, using a dedicated detection tool that it now markets commercially. In September of last year, Deezer stated that 28 percent of the music uploaded to its platform was entirely AI-generated.
Bandcamp has also banned AI-generated songs and reserved the right to remove works suspected of being created with the technology.
Several studies indicate that 97 percent of respondents cannot distinguish between original and AI-generated music. Another study in late 2024 estimated that workers in the music sector could lose a quarter of their income within the next four years due to the advancement of AI.

Similar cases are emerging. A song that garnered millions of streams in Sweden was removed from the charts after being identified as AI-generated. The case of soul “musician” Sienna Rose also drew attention after being suspected of being an AI product, despite reaching 2.6 million monthly listeners and placing three songs on Spotify’s Viral 50 playlist. Spotify itself has removed 75 million spam tracks and taken action against impersonation accounts, following reports of AI songs being uploaded to the profiles of deceased musicians without permission.
The debate has drawn in prominent figures such as Paul McCartney, Kate Bush, and Elton John, who have urged the UK government to protect creative works from the impact of AI. Numerous other musicians, including Mac DeMarco and SZA, have also voiced their concerns, while Björn Ulvaeus of ABBA views AI as a potentially beneficial tool if used wisely.
This discussion demonstrates that innovations like Lyria 3 represent not only technological advancements, but also challenges for the global music ecosystem as it seeks a balance between creativity and regulation.
