Suno Hopes to Go Legit with Watermarks for AI-Generated Music
Suno said the tools will help platforms identify AI-generated tracks and curb fraud as music labels press for clearer disclosure standards.
- On Thursday, Suno became the first customer to adopt Musixmatch's Sentinel, a real-time copyright detection service designed to screen AI prompts and outputs for copyrighted material.
- This integration follows legal challenges, including a ruling last Friday by the Munich Regional Court that Suno infringed GEMA copyrights by training models on protected music without a license.
- Musixmatch says Sentinel provides 'greater visibility into copyrighted material within user prompts,' identifying potential unauthorized use via lyric matching in under 100 milliseconds.
- Suno also implemented audio watermarking, fingerprinting, and new download policies to limit mass distribution of AI-generated tracks on streaming platforms, supporting what the company calls 'original music creation.'
- Despite these transparency efforts, Suno faces ongoing lawsuits from Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment, which accuse the company of using copyrighted recordings to train AI models.
