The music industry has officially declared war on Suno and Udio, two of the most prominent AI music generators. A group of music labels including Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, and Sony Music Group has filed lawsuits in US federal court on Monday morning alleging copyright infringement on a “massive scale.”

The plaintiffs seek damages up to $150,000 per work infringed. The lawsuit against Suno is filed in Massachusetts, while the case against Udio’s parent company Uncharted Inc. was filed in New York. Suno and Udio did not immediately respond to a request to comment.

“Unlicensed services like Suno and Udio that claim it’s ‘fair’ to copy an artist’s life’s work and exploit it for their own profit without consent or pay set back the promise of genuinely innovative AI for us all,” Recording Industry Association of America chair and CEO Mitch Glazier said in a press release.

We need to prepare for the future where there is no jobs and AI replaced all of them.

You seem to think that the natural extension of this is that everyone who used to have a job continues to flourish, and doesn't die in the gutter because they have no money/shelter/food.

The naivity would be adorable, if it weren't also extremely dangerous and playing directly into rich assholes' plans to bleed everything dry for themselves.
