Suno’s AI blues song “Soul Of The Machine” is convincing at first glance, but it’s still a long way off from the creativity of human song-making.

Music software startup Suno accused the world's largest record labels of using copyright lawsuits to fend off competition from music written by generative AI, according to a Thursday court filing.

Suno, which means “listen” in Hindi, is one of hundreds of new startups trying to commercialize generative AI technology that can mimic creative processes like writing, drawing, and making music.
