Suno has announced plans to begin watermarking and fingerprinting AI-generated songs, tighten download policies to prevent mass distribution, and prohibit deceptive audio and unauthorized voice or likeness cloning. These measures come in response to the company facing numerous copyright lawsuits, a recent unfavorable ruling in Germany, and concerns over a data breach that exposed training-data sources.
Mikey Shulman, co-founder and CEO of Suno, shared these updates in a blog post, explaining that the platform aims to encourage original music creation while allowing more people to use its AI tools. The company intends to use audio watermarking and fingerprinting to stop misuse of AI-generated songs on other streaming platforms, though it remains unclear whether Suno will employ an existing system like Google's Synth ID or develop a new one.
Additionally, Suno has partnered with lyrics provider Musixmatch to utilize its Sentinel system for copyright detection. The company also updated its community guidelines to explicitly prohibit "deceptive audio presented as real" and "using a real person's voice or likeness without permission."
