AI POLICY

Trains on large datasets of existing music (including copyrighted work)

Overview

Suno is one of the leading generative AI music tools. Users can create full songs from text prompts.

Suno does not pay artists whose work was used in training. It is widely viewed as a direct threat to human creators.

Trains on large amounts of existing music. Opt-out mechanisms for artists are minimal or non-existent.

Strongly negative for independent artists. Represents one of the biggest current risks to creator economics.
