Music-Making AI App Riffusion Raises $4 Million
Riffusion, a music-generating application, has secured a $4 million investment after transitioning from a hobby project to a commercial enterprise. The app, which uses Stable Diffusion to create music from visual cues, has attracted interest from tech giants like Meta, Google, and ByteDance. Despite concerns about the blending of AI and the arts, Riffusion aims to avoid controversy by not producing deepfakes or recognizing famous artist names in its prompts.
