Sony Music Group is sending more than 700 letters to tech companies and music streaming services, calling on them to not use its music to train AI without authorization from the label.

Sony Music Group is sending letters to 700 artificial intelligence developers and music streaming services warning them to not use its artists' music to train generative AI tools without its permission.

On Thursday, two New York voice-over actors sued Berkeley-based AI voice generator business Lovo for unauthorized use of their voices.
