Sony Music has issued warning letters to over 700 artificial intelligence companies, developers, and music streaming platforms globally. The letters prohibit the unauthorized use of Sony's content, including music, lyrics, art, and videos, for AI training. Sony claims that such use constitutes copyright infringement and has expressed a willingness to discuss licensing agreements. The company stated it has "reason to believe" that its content has been used without permission. This move is part of a broader effort by the music industry to protect intellectual property and prevent the exploitation of artists' work without permission.
