AI Music CEO Promises Fewer Spam Tracks Despite Flood of Robot Karaoke
KEY POINTS
- •Suno CEO Mikey Shulman announced new watermarking and fingerprinting technology to fight AI music spam.
- •The company aims to align with industry standards and collaborate with distribution platforms on transparency and anti-fraud measures.
- •These changes follow concerns raised last year about flood of AI-generated tracks overwhelming streaming services.
In the electrifying saga of Suno's AI vocalists, CEO Mikey Shulman announces a new era of 'responsible' AI music with watermarking and fingerprinting tech to curb spammy tracks clogging streaming services since at least last year. Shulman, who's aiming for 'legitimacy'—a nice upgrade from 'wild west sampler'—plans to buddy up with distribution platforms to fight 'fraud and misuse.' The newly minted watermark tech, apparently inspired by 'emerging industry standards' (a phrase that sounds like someone googled 'how to sound legit'), promises to help fans distinguish genuine robot tunes from spammy noise pollution. All this while a glitchy Suno logo presumably heroically ignores its own download policy drama, proving AI itself might prefer singing over policy-making.
