The Recording Industry Association of America has sued two AI music startups, claiming they used copyrighted music in training datasets. If true, was it fair use?

Udio and Suno are not, despite their names, the hottest new restaurants on the Lower East Side. They’re AI startups that let people generate impressively real-sounding songs — complete with instrumentation and vocal performances — from prompts.

” 'One track started with the sung line “Jason Derulo” in the exact cadence that the real-life Jason Derulo begins many of his songs' This seems pretty damning, but the RIAA isn’t claiming that these specific soundalike tracks infringe copyright — rather, it’s claiming that the AI companies used copyrighted music as a part of their training data. Neither Suno nor Udio have made their training datasets public.
