Sony, Warner Brothers, and Universal, along with the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), have filed lawsuits against AI startups Uncharted Labs, Suno, and Udio.

The lawsuits claim that these startups used copyrighted music without permission to train their music-generating models.

The legal action specifically targets Suno and Udio, demanding $150,000 per work in damages for massive copyright infringement.

Major record labels like Sony, UMG, and Warner are also suing Suno and Uncharted Labs for unauthorized use of artists' work.

The RIAA is advocating for ethical AI development in the music industry, emphasizing the importance of proper consent and compensation for artists.

Artists, including Billie Eilish and Katy Perry, support the call for AI developers to respect their rights.

The lawsuits underscore the potential benefits of AI tools if used responsibly and with permission from copyright owners.
