“Artificial intelligence allows anyone to produce professional-sounding music in virtually any genre. Its use is surging in music and has caught the attention of major industry groups. In June, the Recording Industry Association of America, Universal Music Group, Sony Music Entertainment and Warner Music Group teamed up to sue popular AI music apps Suno and Udio, accusing them of copyright infringement. Lawsuits like this could help safeguard the rights [sic] of musicians and record labels — though their effect could take years. In the meantime, AI could well present more opportunities than challenges for musicians.” (08/27/24)
