Jun 24, 2024, 03:12 PM

Major record labels Sony Music, Universal Music Group, and Warner Records have filed a landmark copyright infringement lawsuit against AI music generation companies Suno and Udio. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) alleges that these companies have used thousands of unlicensed songs from some of the world's biggest artists to train their AI systems. The lawsuit accuses Suno and Udio of committing mass copyright infringement by using the labels' recordings without permission. The case, filed in a US court, marks a significant moment for AI in the music industry, following previous legal actions against AI companies for similar issues. Udio was notably used to create the viral song 'BBL Drizzy'.
