According to a press release announcing the deal, the agreement will 'deliver improved remuneration for UMG's songwriters and artists, new promotional and engagement opportunities for their recordings and songs, and industry-leading protections with respect to generative AI.'
UMG and TikTok are 'now working expeditiously to return music by artists represented by Universal Music Group and songwriters represented by Universal Music Publishing Group to TikTok in due course.'
Regarding AI specifically, TikTok will work with UMG to 'remove unauthorized AI-generated music from the platform, as well as [develop] tools to improve artist and songwriter attribution.'
In a letter issued to employees, UMG Chairman/CEO stated, 'Under the new agreement, artist and songwriter compensation will be greater than under our prior TikTok deal.'
