Suno Admits Using Copyrighted Songs to Train AI Model
Music Industry Reacts
AI startup Suno has confirmed that its AI model was indeed trained on copyrighted songs, a move that has drawn criticism from the music industry.
"We believe that our use of copyrighted songs is fair use," said Suno CEO Max Vichniac. "We are using these songs to create new and innovative music that would not be possible without them."
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) disagrees. "Suno's use of copyrighted songs is a clear violation of copyright law," said RIAA CEO Mitch Glazier. "We will not hesitate to take legal action to protect the rights of our members."
Universal Music Group, Sony Music, and Warner Records have all filed lawsuits against Suno, claiming that the company is using their copyrighted music without permission.
The RIAA lawsuit highlights that Udio and Suno's models are trained on copyrighted music without the consent of the copyright holders. This, the RIAA argues, is a clear violation of the Copyright Act.
The outcome of these lawsuits could have a significant impact on the future of AI music. If the courts rule in favor of the music industry, it could make it much more difficult for AI companies to use copyrighted songs to train their models.
