AI music startup Udio responds to lawsuits by major record labels: ‘our model does not reproduce copyrighted works’


The rapid rise of AI music generation has led to a conflict over the training data and outputs that shows no signs of being resolved.

In our young life as a company, we have sat in the studios of some of the world’s greatest musicians, workshopped lyrics with up-and-coming songwriters, and watched as millions of users created extraordinary new music, ranging from the funny to the profound. Producers have sampled AI-generated tracks to create hit songs, like ‘BBL Drizzy’, and everyday music-lovers have used the technology to express the gamut of human emotions from love to sorrow to joy. The labels argue that Suno and Udio’s AI models produce outputs that are strikingly similar to original compositions and replicate specific artist traits.
