Suno hopes to go legit with watermarks for AI-generated music
Suno plans watermarks and download limits to stop "large-scale abuse."
The surge of AI-generated content across the internet has led to confusion regarding the distinction between artificial and human creations. Streaming platforms like Spotify have found themselves overwhelmed by AI-generated songs. Suno, a leading provider of such AI music, is set to improve its practices through the introduction of watermarks and policy modifications.
In a blog post detailing their intentions, Suno's CEO and co-founder Mikey Shulman emphasized the need for these changes to align with "emerging industry standards" for labeling AI content. Moving forward, Suno will incorporate watermarks into the audio outputs generated by its models, providing platforms with the ability to label content as AI or block it entirely.
The CEO did not disclose whether Suno would employ an in-house watermarking solution or utilize third-party options like Google's SynthID. Google has recently initiated licensing agreements for SynthID with other businesses, reporting its usage in labeling 60,000 years' worth of audio generated by its Gemini models, along with over 100 billion images and videos.
