This collaboration is part of Microsoft's extensive research initiative dedicated to AI Music known as Muzic, which explores AI-powered advancements in music creation. However, Suno does not allow free users to monetize the music they create on platforms like YouTube or Spotify, retaining the rights to any songs created by free users. It does, however, grant commercial rights to paid subscribers. Despite the growing interest in AI-synthesized music, ethical and legal challenges, such as consent and compensation issues, persist.
Key takeaways:
