AI music generators Suno and Udio are being sued by major US record labels


Major record labels Sony Music and Universal Music Group, have declared their intent toward artificial intelligence companies Suno and Udio.

The AI music generators have been accused of using the labels’ recordings to train their systems to create content that will “directly compete with, cheapen, and ultimately drown out” human artists’ work, according to federal lawsuits filed in New York against Udio, and served on Suno in Massachusetts. A press release from the industry collective stated, “Unlicensed services like Suno and Udio that claim it’s ‘fair’ to copy an artist’s life’s work and exploit it for their own profit without consent or pay set back the promise of genuinely innovative AI for us all.” It continued, “These are straightforward cases of copyright infringement involving unlicensed copying of sound recordings on a massive scale.”
