Introducing A New Era Of Musical Innovation

Google introduced Lyria 3 Pro, a music generation model that creates tracks up to three minutes long. The previous version, Lyria 3, supported clips of up to 30 seconds. Users can define track structure, including intros, verses, choruses and bridges.

Longer formats expand how creators use AI tools in music production. The update adds more control over composition compared to earlier versions.

Enhanced Creative Controls And Customization

Lyria 3 Pro improves how the model handles musical structure. Users can control the arrangement and sequence of track components. Expanded controls allow more precise editing compared to earlier releases. Tools support use cases for musicians, producers and content creators.

Seamless Integration Across Platforms

Lyria 3 Pro is available through the Gemini app for paid users. Integration also includes Google Vids and ProducerAI, a generative music platform acquired by Google. Availability across products places the model within Google’s content creation ecosystem. Each integration supports different video and audio workflows.

Expanding Enterprise Capabilities

Google is extending Lyria 3 Pro to enterprise tools, including Vertex AI, Gemini API and AI Studio. Vertex AI is currently in public preview. API access allows companies to integrate AI-generated music into commercial products. Use cases include advertising, media production and branded content.

Data-Driven Innovation And Industry Impact

Google said the model was trained on licensed data and partner content, including YouTube. Generated tracks may reflect styles based on prompts, but do not replicate specific artists. Each track created with Lyria models includes SynthID, a watermark that identifies AI-generated content.

Market Dynamics And Future Directions

Release of Lyria 3 Pro comes as streaming platforms update policies on AI-generated music. Spotify and Deezer introduced measures to manage attribution and protect artist identity. New model enters a market where AI music tools expand across consumer and enterprise segments.

Meta’s $18 Billion Settlement Limits State Claims Over Children’s Data

August 28, 2026

Meta’s $18 billion settlement with attorneys general from 29 U.S. states includes a provision limiting future state claims over the company’s use of children’s data for age-assurance systems.

Under the agreement, Meta must develop, train and begin testing a system to identify users under 13 within a year of the settlement taking effect. The company already uses AI-based age-detection tools, although the agreement does not require the new system to use AI.

States Agree To Limits On Future Claims

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) generally restricts the collection and retention of personal data from children under 13. Under the settlement, the 29 state attorneys general agreed not to bring past, present or future claims under COPPA or similar state laws over the specified use of children’s data.

Meta will not be permitted to use information from users under 13 for advertising, marketing or algorithmic optimisation.

Federal Enforcement Remains Unclear

COPPA is primarily enforced by the Federal Trade Commission, which is not a party to the agreement. That leaves open the possibility of separate federal action over how Meta collects or uses children’s data.

Another issue is whether Meta can keep age-assurance data isolated from its other systems. An independent auditor will monitor compliance, but the settlement does not fully specify what data Meta can retain for training, how long it can be stored or whether derived insights can be used elsewhere.

Legal Risks Remain

Joshua Wurtzel, a partner at Schlam Stone & Dolan, said states could still pursue claims if Meta uses the data outside the settlement’s limits. Such cases could depend on how those limits are interpreted.

Peter Jackson, a data and intellectual property attorney at Greenberg Glusker, said the provision could “disincentivize future enforcement actions.”

The agreement gives Meta greater legal certainty around using children’s data for age assurance, but questions remain over federal enforcement, data retention and secondary use.
