AI Summary

Suno, an AI music creation platform, is implementing audio watermarking and updating its community guidelines to address legal issues and prevent misuse of its generated songs. The changes aim to promote original content while navigating lawsuits from major music labels and addressing a recent data breach affecting millions of users.

Suno announced new tools for watermarking AI-generated songs and limiting downloads to prevent misuse on other platforms. This comes as the company faces multiple lawsuits from music labels and artist organizations.
Co-founder and CEO Mikey Shulman stated that the platform aims to foster original creation and collaboration in the music industry.
The company will employ audio watermarking and fingerprinting technologies, though it has not confirmed whether it will use existing systems like Google’s Synth ID.
Suno has partnered with Musixmatch to utilize its Sentinal system for copyright detection.
New community guidelines will prohibit deceptive audio and the unauthorized use of individuals' voices or likenesses.
Suno is currently involved in lawsuits with Universal Music Group and Sony Music Group, coordinated by the RIAA, and recently lost a case regarding copyright violations in Germany.
The company is also facing a class action lawsuit in Massachusetts related to a data breach that exposed information of 55 million users, which allegedly stemmed from inadequate security measures.
