Watermarking the Wild West of AI Music The recent announcement by AI music startup Suno to introduce audio watermarking and fingerprinting technology is a necessary move in response to rampant misuse on its platform.
This decision comes as the company faces multiple lawsuits from major record labels, including Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment, which accuse Suno of using copyrighted recordings without permission to train its AI models.
The North Carolina man who pleaded guilty to using hundreds of thousands of AI generated songs and billions of fake streams to collect over $8 million in royalties is an example of the creative ways scammers have exploited the unregulated space of AI music generation.
