Google upgraded its Lyria AI to version 3 Pro, allowing up to three-minute tracks with defined song structure from intro through chorus and bridge. Meanwhile Google India’s legal head Bijoya Roy resigned after 16 months, creating leadership gaps as the company navigates antitrust lawsuits ahead of a $15 billion AI investment.
1. Lyria 3 Pro Expands AI Music Capabilities
Google has rolled out Lyria 3 Pro, an upgrade to its AI music model that extends generation from 30-second clips to full three-minute tracks with defined structures such as intros, verses, choruses and bridges. The update improves the model's understanding of musical flow and transitions, enabling users to shape song progression more actively.
2. Google India Legal Head Departure and Regulatory Context
Bijoya Roy stepped down as head of legal for Google India after a 16-month tenure, leaving key policy roles vacant as antitrust suits escalate and content regulations tighten in the region. Her departure coincides with Google's pledge to invest $15 billion in India's AI infrastructure over five years, raising questions about execution and compliance strategy.
