Sony Music Entertainment, one of the world's largest record companies representing popular bands like AC/DC and Nickelback, has issued warning letters to AI developers. According to the Financial Times, recipients include OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Suno, and over 700 other startups.
Sony has banned the use of its music, lyrics, and other song content for training AI models or creating alternative commercial products. Additionally, the company has sent similar letters to streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music, demanding protection against unauthorized use of its content.
In its letters, Sony recognized the potential of AI but emphasized the need for control and compensation for the use of its content. The company expressed a willingness to collaborate and license its music to AI developers, but only for a fair price.
Publicly, Sony declined to comment on this matter. However, the company has already begun to suspect some firms of unlicensed use of its music, which was the main reason for sending the warning letters.
