Summary
Data from a hacking incident revealed that Suno, an AI music generator, trained its models by scraping (automatically copying) millions of songs and lyrics from platforms like YouTube Music, Deezer, and Genius without disclosing these sources. This discovery is significant because Suno faces multiple lawsuits claiming it used copyrighted material to train its AI models, and the company had previously kept its training data sources secret.
