A recent development in the music industry has seen major record labels taking legal action against two AI startups, Suno and Uncharted Labs, for allegedly using popular artists' work without permission to train their AI systems to create copyrighted music. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), representing labels like Sony Music Entertainment, UMG Recordings, and Warner Records, filed copyright infringement cases against the two companies.
Udio, the company behind the viral AI-generated song 'BBL Drizzy,' was founded by former Google DeepMind researchers with the aim of making music creation more accessible. Suno, on the other hand, raised a substantial $125 million in funding and offers a platform for users to generate songs with minimal input, utilizing OpenAI's ChatGPT for lyrics and titles.
