TikTok has introduced a new feature called "AI Song" that is currently being tested. The feature aims to empower users to create unique songs using artificial intelligence.
It is currently available to a limited user base and uses the Bloom language model to generate lyrics based on user-input prompts. While the main purpose is for entertainment, TikTok clarifies that it is not intended for creating viral hits.
Users can input prompts like "going to concerts" or "cuddling with pets," and the AI generates lyrics, pairing them with music from TikTok's catalog in genres like "pop," "EDM," or "hip-hop."

TikTok has set guidelines for AI Song use to prevent harm to minors, spreading false information, or engaging in defamatory activities. The company also hints at a possible name change for the feature in the future.
While the wider release of AI-generated music on TikTok is uncertain, the platform follows others like YouTube in exploring AI-generated music tools.
YouTube introduced its "Dream Track" feature, allowing creators to generate 30-second soundtracks imitating various artists' styles.
TikTok's venture into AI-generated music aligns with its broader music industry strategy. Parent company ByteDance launched the free-to-use music production app "Ripple" in the U.S., using machine learning to transform user-recorded melodies into instrumental songs.

TikTok has also made strides in the music business with its subscription-only music streaming service, "TikTok Music," launched in select countries last year.
Although details about its U.S. launch are undisclosed, a ByteDance trademark application suggests a potential introduction in the near future.
TikTok continues to expand its presence in the music creation and consumption space through innovative features and planned enterprises.
