Suno is a music copyright nightmare

The Verge
Suno's AI music platform easily generates convincing imitations of copyrighted songs, raising concerns about copyright infringement and artist protection.

Summary

AI music platform Suno, despite its policy against using copyrighted material, is easily exploited to create remarkably accurate AI-generated covers of popular songs. By using simple techniques like slowing down tracks or adding white noise, users can bypass Suno’s filters and generate imitations of artists like Beyoncé and Black Sabbath. These covers, while often sounding 'uncanny,' could be monetized, potentially harming original artists, especially those independent or on smaller labels. Suno’s system appears to only scan tracks upon upload and doesn’t recheck outputs for infringement. The article highlights cases of artists finding AI-generated versions of their songs on streaming platforms, and the difficulties in combating this issue, even with platforms like Spotify attempting to implement safeguards. Suno has not yet commented on the issue, leaving artists with limited recourse.
