Music labels split on AI generators, with lawsuits and partnerships

The industry is both litigating against and working with AI music tools, including cases where one label has pursued both approaches.

The music industry is wrestling with how to respond to AI music generators, as labels take opposing paths that include litigation and partnerships, according to NYT Business.

The outlet reports that some music companies have sued AI music generator providers such as Suno, while other labels have chosen to partner with the same kind of technology.

NYT Business also notes that at least one label has gone both ways, filing a lawsuit while also collaborating with AI music tools, underscoring how uneven the industry response is.
