Sony Music Entertainment has filed a lawsuit against the AI music generator Udio, alleging copyright infringement of over 30,000 songs. This marks another legal challenge for Udio, as Sony is currently the only major music label that hasn’t reached an agreement with the company.
The suit claims Udio infringes on copyrights ranging from Elvis Presley's “Hound Dog” to more recent tracks. The Verge reports the specific number of songs involved in the lawsuit is 30,000. This legal action follows a pattern of copyright challenges facing AI music generators as they rapidly develop and gain popularity.
Notably, Sony previously sued Udio earlier this year, indicating ongoing disputes over intellectual property rights related to AI-generated content. Engadget points out that other major labels have already reached deals with Udio, suggesting Sony’s approach differs from its competitors. The details of those agreements remain undisclosed.
The lawsuit underscores the broader legal questions surrounding the use of copyrighted material in training artificial intelligence models and the subsequent output generated by these systems.
