Major record labels, including Sony Music Entertainment, UMG Recordings, and Warner Records, have filed copyright infringement cases against AI startups Suno and Uncharted Labs for using popular artists' work without consent to train AI systems that produce copyrighted music. Suno and Udio, the developer behind BBL Drizzy, have raised significant funding but are facing legal action for their actions. RIAA CEO Mitch Glazier emphasized the importance of enforcing ethical practices in AI development and protecting artists' rights. More than 200 artists have signed a letter urging AI developers to respect copyright laws. The lawsuits highlight the potential harm of irresponsible AI tools on the music industry, impacting the quality of new music and artists' livelihoods. Suno, with millions of users and music files released to streaming services, faces accusations of using copyrighted material without permission or compensation. The lawsuits aim to hold AI developers accountable and ensure a sustainable music industry.
