The Verge was the first to report on the partnership agreement between the developers of the Suno music AI model and the Warner Music Group. The platform agreed to the label's demands and promised to prevent the unauthorized use of copyrighted music when training its models.
According to The Verge, the agreement stipulates that Suno will create a new generator trained without licensed music. This means that Ed Sheeran, Dua Lipa, Twenty One Pilots, and the works of many other artists will not serve as inspiration for training AI models.
At the same time, Mikey Shulman's company agreed to the following:
As noted in the publication, the announced conditions will prevent Suno from creating compositions similar to those owned by Warner Music Group.
In turn, the music label's representatives announced that they are dropping the lawsuit against Suno, which the company had previously filed jointly with Universal Music Group and Sony BMG. The major labels accused the AI company of illegally using copyrighted music in the lawsuit.
According to The Verge, Suno was the world's largest AI music generator at the end of 2025. In November, the company raised $250 million, reaching a total valuation of $2.45 billion.
Suno previously introduced "the world's first digital workstation built around artificial intelligence." The developers noted that algorithms are effective assistants, but all decisions are made by humans, and there is no question of replacing people.
