AMERICAN RECORD LABELS

The worldā€™s biggest record labels filed lawsuits against Suno and Udio, alleging the companies illegally leveraged copyrighted content to train their music-generating AI models.

Key Details:
  • Universal Music Group (UMG), Warner Music Group (WMG), and Sony Music Entertainment (SME) claim Suno and Udio trained their music-generating AI models on copyrighted records without permission or compensation.

  • The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) leads the lawsuits, seeking up to $150,000 per infringed record, which could result in billions of dollars in damages.

  • RIAA alleges that the music-generating AI modelā€™s outputs mimic specific artists and popular songs.

  • RIAA Chairman and CEO Mitch Glazier explained: ā€œUnlicensed services like Suno and Udio, which claim itā€™s ā€˜fairā€™ to copy an artistā€™s life work and exploit it for their profit without consent, set back the promise of innovative AI for us all.ā€

  • Suno recently raised $125 million to build a future where anyone can make music, and Udio secured $10 million to develop an AI-powered ā€œinstantā€ music-making app.

Why Itā€™s Important:
  • Udio claims theyā€™ve ā€œimplemented and continue to refine state-of-the-art filters to ensureā€ the music-generating AI models donā€™t ā€œreproduce copyrighted works or an artistā€™s voice.ā€

  • Suno and Udio claim the music-generating AI models fall under ā€œfair useā€ because training AI models on publicly available copyrighted content enables the AI models to learn from the works to create original content, not copies of the training data.

AI RESEARCH

šŸ“ŠNumerical and Symbolic Reasoning in LLMs?!

Large Language Models (LLMs) that power conversational chatbots like OpenAIā€™s ChatGPT excel at tasks such as drafting legal briefs, analyzing the sentiment of customer reviews, or translating documents into various languages.

However, these LLMs typically use natural language to process user queries, making it difficult for them to perform tasks requiring numerical or symbolic reasoning.

MIT researchers introduced a novel approach called Natural Language Embedded Programs (NLEPs) to enhance the numerical and symbolic reasoning capabilities of LLMs.

The novel approach involves prompting LLMs to execute Python to solve user queries and generate outputs in natural language.

MIT researchers discovered that NLEPs enabled OpenAIā€™s GPT-4 to achieve over 90% accuracy on various symbolic reasoning tasks, outperforming task-specific prompting methods by 30%.
