Google’s Gemini Sings: The Lyria 3 Revolution & Sony’s AI Shield
Google Gemini Music: Lyria 3 Launch vs. Sony’s AI Copyright Detection
The era of AI music for everyone has officially arrived. On February 18, 2026, Google integrated Lyria 3 directly into Gemini, allowing millions to generate 30-second tracks—with or without lyrics—using just a text prompt, an image, or even a video. But as the internet fills with AI-generated tunes, the music industry is fighting back.
In this episode, we break down how Lyria 3 uses Nano Banana to create custom cover art and why Google is embedding invisible SynthID watermarks in every file. We also dive into Sony’s revolutionary detection tool, which can now pinpoint exactly which artists influenced an AI track, even quantifying it (e.g., "30% Beatles, 10% Queen"). Is this the beginning of fair royalties for human artists or the end of creative freedom? We explore the tech, the ethics, and the future of the "Wild West" of AI audio.
