Suno releases new AI music models in partnership with Warner Music, BMG

AI music startup Suno on Wednesday launched a suite of AI models in partnership with record companies Warner Music Group and BMG to allow users to generate new music inspired by licensed music of participating artists.

This move comes amid increasing scrutiny of AI music generators like Suno and Udio, as artists fret about uncompensated use of ‌their work and ⁠streaming ⁠platforms like Deezer and Spotify working to improve transparency around AI-generated tracks.

Last year, Udio settled copyright lawsuits with Universal Music Group and Warner Music Group, while Suno settled a copyright lawsuit with Warner Music and signed licensing deals.
