Suno Plans New Tools to Make AI-Generated Music More Transparent. Is It Enough?
Suno plans to flag use of its music generator using audio watermarking and fingerprint technology.
Suno, the AI song-generation platform, is set to make its music creation tools more transparent for artists and streaming platforms. The company outlined plans to implement watermarks and fingerprinting techniques to identify AI-generated tunes, and introduce new downloads policies to limit mass distribution on streaming services.
Suno's efforts come in response to recent hacking and copyright infringement lawsuits. While Suno claims to protect artists by not using names in training metadata and prohibiting prompts that specify artists or copyrighted songs, the changes remain vague. The streaming platforms Spotify and Apple Music are already cracking down on AI-generated music, while Deezer has stopped including AI tracks in recommendations and not paying royalties for AI-generated music.
However, it remains to be seen if Suno's measures are sufficient to address the concerns of artists, streaming platforms, and recording companies.
