Major music companies are suing generative AI startups Suno and Udio, alleging their AI models that create music infringe on copyrights. The lawsuit highlights the debate around training data. Plenty of high-quality, uncopyrighted text can be used for training. But that isn’t the case for music. This is a classic case of data moat competitive advantages. https://lnkd.in/eZxQD3jq #ai #music #copyright #datamoat

Resemble AI has released DETECT-2B, which they claim has an accuracy rate of 94% in identifying music deepfakes. The model can be used to flag AI-generated content on platforms like YouTube and provide record labels with tools to protect their artists. #ai #music #artificialintelligence #deepfake #deepfakes #copyright #generativeai #misinformation #technology

Do AI companies profit from remixing music tracks through generative AI? Artists and Record labels feel they do. AI companies, claiming creative license, believe that there is nothing wrong in copying an artist's work without consent or payment. However big record labels are now carrying the fight over copyright infringements to the courts. Record labels Sony Music, Universal Music Group, and Warner Records have recently sued AI start-ups Suno and Udio on grounds of “mass copyright infringement by using the labels' recordings to train music-generating AI systems.” They added that the recreated music will “directly compete with, cheapen, and ultimately drown out” human artists’ work. https://buff.ly/4bz2xct Suno CEO Mikey Shulman disagrees, “Our technology is transformative; it is designed to generate completely new outputs, not to memorize and regurgitate pre-existing content.” Suno and UDIO have raised millions in funding for their text prompt based music generating systems. The record labels claim that the AI companies are “deliberately evasive” about the material they used to train their technology. In fact, they have accused Suno and UDIO of copying 662 and 1670 songs respectively. They are seeking statutory damages of up to $150,000 per “allegedly copied” song. This could run into billions! #music #copyright #AI #recordlabels #technology

The record industry is suing AI companies over copyright. 🎶🤖 This harks back to the Napster era when they sued against streaming music, which ironically ended up saving the industry (thereby demonstrating a Luddite level of shortsightedness)😀📜 A key argument from AI companies is based on the premise that AI learns from data similarly to how humans do and then transforms the output. Looking forward to the court deciding on the question of “can machines learn similarly to humans?” ⚖️ For corporate leaders: ignore for now. This will take years to resolve and seems aimed at driving settlements and creating a market for AI-generated music. #AI #Copyright #MusicIndustry #ArtificialIntelligence #TechLaw #Innovation #FutureOfMusic #ai #lifesciences #ml

The music industry is taking a stand against the potential misuse of AI! A new bill, the Transparency in Artificial Intelligence Regulations (TRAIN) Act, aims to require companies to disclose the copyrighted material used to train their AI models. This is a significant step towards protecting the rights of musicians and ensuring that AI is used ethically in the music industry. #AI #MusicIndustry #Copyright #TRAINAct #ArtificialIntelligence #Music https://lnkd.in/gE437ary

Can there ever be ethical use of music in developing #AI? Unlicensed use of copyrighted music has been on the rise lately for developing AI technology. Now imagine, how much of a revenue is lost due to this. As a result, ICMP ( International Confederation of Music Publishers) has launched a powerful initiative to support artists and their rights. Ethical, responsible, and lawful AI is the way ahead, and this initiative is just the beginning. How can AI tech companies then use music? The goal is to obtain licenses in advance from relevant rightsholders without compromising the rights of songwriters, artists, rightsholders, and consumers worldwide. We say “no use without consent, credit & compensation”, do you? #Noctil #MetadataManagement #EthicalAI #creativeindustrynews #copyright

🎵🎤 Major record companies like Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group, and Warner Music Group have taken legal action against AI music generators Udio and Suno, accusing them of using copyrighted material to train their AI systems without permission. This groundbreaking case highlights the ethical and legal challenges posed by AI in the music industry. 📚🎧 These AI companies allow users to create songs with a simple text command, leveraging vast amounts of copyrighted sound recordings to train their models. The lawsuits argue that this practice constitutes massive-scale copyright infringement. 🗣️💡 Ken Doroshow, Chief Legal Officer of the RIAA, emphasizes the importance of these lawsuits in setting clear boundaries for the responsible development of generative AI systems. Udio and Suno, however, defend their methods, claiming their technology is designed to generate original music, not replicate existing works. This legal battle mirrors other recent lawsuits in creative industries, from journalism to photography, against AI firms for similar practices. 🚀✨ As AI continues to revolutionize industries, this case will be pivotal in shaping the future of ethical AI development. What are your thoughts on AI-generated music and the copyright implications? Let's discuss! #AI #MusicIndustry #Copyright #Innovation #TechEthics

AI and the Music Industry An AI-generated Drake song has sparked a debate about copyright and the future of music. The song "Heart on My Sleeve" features the voice of Drake rapping over a beat by Metro Boomin. It was uploaded to TikTok by an unknown user, @ghostwriter977, and quickly went viral. The song's origins are shrouded in mystery. Some speculate that it is Drake's publicity stunt, while others believe it is the work of a crypto-adjacent startup. Universal Music Group, Drake's record label, denied involvement but sent takedown notices to streaming services. As AI technology develops, creating realistic forgeries of popular artists will become increasingly easy. This raises several copyright questions. - Who owns the rights to an AI-generated song? - Should artists be compensated for using their voice and likeness in AI creations? The legal battle over "Heart on My Sleeve" is just beginning, but it could have far-reaching implications for the future of music. https://lnkd.in/g8kbfYCY

A surge in lawsuits against AI music generators like Suno and Udio underscores a massive moment in music... Major record labels, with coordination by the RIAA, are taking a firm stand against what they call "mass infringement" of copyrighted material. This legal battle emphasizes a fundamental question: Does using copyrighted music to train AI models constitute fair use? While these AI companies argue that it is innovation, the music industry says that unlicensed use threatens artists' brands and livelihoods. The outcome of these lawsuits will set a precedent for how AI interacts with intellectual property, not just in music but entertainment as a whole. I'm very intrigued to see how this plays out as someone who sees both the benefits and detriments of AI. What do you think? #ai #musicindustry #lawsuit #compliance https://lnkd.in/grvzd8Fu
