The following month , Universal Music Group , Sony Music Entertainment , Warner Music Group and others joined a lawsuit coordinated by the Recording Industry Association of America to take on Suno and Udiomaker Uncharted Labs over their AI programs . The tools created by the two companies allow users to develop full-length songs using the voices of human artists based on text prompts .
The Trouble with AI-Generated Music
I can easily understand why artists and their labels might be worried about AI ’ s unregulated use for business purposes , as AI-generated music sounds dangerously close to the artists that users are attempting to mimic .
With just a few simple keystrokes , generative AI platforms can produce new songs or entire albums resembling the work of top artists .
In April , the Artists Rights Alliance ( ARA ) issued an open letter condemning the unlawful use of AI in music . More than 200 popular music artists , including Billie Eilish , Nicki Minaj , Jon Bon Jovi , R . E . M ., Pearl Jam and others , signed the letter .
In May , Sony Music Group issued formal warnings to more than 700 generative AI and streaming companies
These AI music generators also produce music at a fraction of the cost it would take for businesses to legally license it for commercial purposes – an enticing fact for brands working on a limited budget .
Exploiting the hard work , talent , and experience of real artists , these programs copy human creativity without paying what the real talent behind those sounds deserve .
