Record labels sue AI music generator startups Suno, Udio for copyright infringement


Major music labels like Universal Music, Sony Music and Warner Music claim AI music generation platforms Suno and Udio trained AI models on copyrighted materials.

The labels further claim that Suno replicated the quirks of certain artists, such as singer Jason Derulo, whose trademark is singing his name at the beginning of songs. Udio became popular after the producer Metro Boomin used to create an AI beat track he called “BBL Drizzy,” which he distributed for free as part of an ongoing feud with rival musician Drake (Aubrey Graham). Anthropic claimed music lyrics make up a “minuscule fraction” of AI training data and any potential distribution doesn’t impact labels substantially.
