According to axios.com, artificial intelligence songwriting platform Suno has argued that the world’s largest record labels are using copyright lawsuits to allegedly attempt to quell competition from music written by generative AI. But Universal Music Group, Sony Music and Warner Music have alleged that Suno allegedly exploits alleged copyrighted sounds and songs allegedly without permission to train its AI models to generate new songs.
Context-wise, content creators are trying to coexist and protect their businesses from new generative AI businesses that rely on learning from previous bodies of work which are copyrighted and owned by the record labels. Suno has admitted that they have allegedly trained their artificial intelligence models from data on the open internet archives which allegedly contain copyrighted materials. The record labels claim, however, that Suno and other AI songwriting platforms are allegedly infringing on their copyrights as some of the materials allegedly used to train the models are owned by the labels.
Suno’s CEO and co-founder Mikey Shulman addressed the situation in a blog post published in the filing. asserting, “But it is not different from a “kid writing their own rock songs after listening to the genre,” or “a teacher or journalist reviewing materials to draw insights.”
