A new lawsuit filed by record labels Universal, Sony and Warner says their catalogs have been ripped off by two AI music generators. But there’s a twist: It’s not clear the courts are on their side.
AYESHA RASCOE, HOST: The music industry is coming for artificial intelligence. A new lawsuit filed by the Big 3 record labels – Universal, Sony, and Warner – says their catalogs have been ripped off by two AI music generators. But there’s a twist. It’s not clear that the courts are on the side of record labels. NPR’s Bobby Allyn explains why.
BOBBY ALLYN, BYLINE: The two companies are Suno and Udio. Here’s how they work. Type a description into a search box, and seconds later, you get an AI song. So if you type 70s pop into the search, you might get a song it calls “Prancing Queen.”
ALLYN: Sure does sound a whole lot like Swedish pop group ABBA’s 1976 hit “Dancing Queen,” doesn’t it?
ALLYN: Hmm, artistic inspiration? Mitch Glazier doesn’t think so. He says this is wholesale theft. He’s the CEO of the Recording Industry Association of America. Along with major record labels, he’s suing to try to put a stop to these services.
MITCH GLAZIER: This case is a basic copyright case. It’s about two companies – Suno and Udio took music made by other people without permission, and without compensation, and make money.
ALLYN: The AI companies wouldn’t make anyone available for an interview. But in statements, they said the tools are not memorizing and regurgitating music. They say, OK, the music might reflect some ideas or themes similar to, say, ABBA, but it’s something new entirely. The case is about two sides focusing on different things. The music industry says, focus on the music that was copied, the input. And the AI companies say, focus on the new thing the tools are spitting out, the output.
RICHARD BUSCH: It’s not a clear-cut case.
ALLYN: That’s Richard Busch. He’s a big deal in the copyright world. He’s a lawyer who won a multimillion dollar case against Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams over their 2013 song “Blurred Lines” for illegally copying Marvin Gaye. He’s devoted his life to going after artists who have ripped others off. But he thinks the AI companies here might actually have an argument.
BUSCH: How is this different than a human brain listening to music and then creating something that is not infringing, but is influenced.
ALLYN: Busch says both sides of the copyright debate, the input and the output, will be important when hashing this out. I ask Glazier with the recording industry to point to an AI song that best sums up the case. And he said Jason Derulo, who is known in the R&B world for his so-called tags at the beginning of songs. He gives his own name a shoutout – like this.
ALLYN: The AI tools ban searches that specifically name artists. But if you type in contemporary R&B, male singer, soaring ballads, catchy dance pop, you hear – well…
BUSCH: You can hear Jason Derulo’s tag in the output. So pretty convincing proof that the company actually did copy the song without permission.
ALLYN: And Glazier with the recording industry says there are many hundreds of other examples. The suit asks for up to $150,000 per infringed song, so if they win, it could add up fast. The recording industry has something of a playbook for this kind of case. It help bring down music file-sharing service Napster. Nearly 25 years later, AI is the new enemy. Busch, the music copyright lawyer, says, he thinks with time, both sides will reach some kind of deal before this goes to trial.
GLAZIER: Every single time there’s new technology, this is what happens. Everyone gets up in arms. Everyone says this is the end of the world, and then everyone says, wait a second. There’s a way for everybody to make money.
ALLYN: Take streaming services like Spotify. The record industry once resisted it. Now, streaming music has pushed music industry profits to new highs. Bobby Allyn, NPR News.
This is an excerpt of the article originally published in ScienceAlert.
You probably know to take everything an artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot says with a grain of salt, since they are often just scraping data indiscriminately, without the nous to determine its veracity.
But there may be reason to be even more cautious. Many AI systems, new research has found, have already developed the ability to deliberately present a human user with false information. These devious bots have mastered the art of deception.
“AI developers do not have a confident understanding of what causes undesirable AI behaviors like deception,” says mathematician and cognitive scientist Peter Park of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
“But generally speaking, we think AI deception arises because a deception-based strategy turned out to be the best way to perform well at the given AI’s training task. Deception helps them achieve their goals.”
One arena in which AI systems are proving particularly deft at dirty falsehoods is gaming. There are three notable examples in the researchers’ work. One is Meta’s CICERO, designed to play the board game Diplomacy, in which players seek world domination through negotiation. Meta intended its bot to be helpful and honest; in fact, the opposite was the case.

In a time of great challenge, we look to technology and its judicious use and an upwelling of human compassion. In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic with its devastating health and economic consequences, our ability to work together is among the most vital strengths of our species. The invention of machine learning and other forms of artificial intelligence is already playing a key role in improving our well-being. These technologies that augment our human capacity have delivered vaccines in record times. In the midst of such troubled times, we can celebrate the tools we use, including the Internet, to collaborate on a global scale never before possible. May this New Year bring essential improvement in the well-being of the Vietnamese people wherever they may be.
