As SZA, Doja Cat, and others voice frustration, producer Mike Sabath challenges the assumption that unlicensed AI training is an unstoppable wave.
SZA, Kenny Beats, and others responded angrily after a new tool showed their songs were included in datasets used by music-generating AI—while Hudson Mohawke offered a less surprised view.
After discovering 238 of her tracks—including unreleased material—in AI training datasets, SZA warned of systemic theft from Black artists and called out producer Diplo for his ties to music generation platform Suno.
The American Federation of Musicians alleges that the majors licensed recordings to AI firms Suno and Udio without sharing proceeds, breaching a collective bargaining agreement.
