The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has taken legal action against Suno and Udio, two platforms that use artificial intelligence to generate music. These companies offer free music generation and text-to-music conversion services, with paid options available. However, the RIAA alleges that these platforms have infringed on artists’ copyrights by using their music without permission.
Suno AI and Udio have been accused of copying and exploiting copyrighted recordings to train their AI models. The RIAA claims that these platforms generate music that closely resembles copyrighted songs, violating the original artists’ rights. Specific examples of copyright infringement include songs created on these platforms that mirror well-known tracks by artists like Chuck Berry and The Temptations.
The lawsuits filed against Suno and Udio seek acknowledgment of copyright infringement, preventative measures to avoid future violations, and compensation for damages resulting from past infringements. The RIAA aims to protect the rights of artists and uphold copyright laws in the music industry.
