The Atlantic reveals millions of songs used to train AI music models

By PulseAugur Editorial · [10 sources] ·

An investigation by The Atlantic, spearheaded by reporter Alex Reisner, has uncovered and published four searchable databases detailing millions of songs used to train AI music generation models. These datasets, some containing up to 12 million tracks, include works from prominent artists like Taylor Swift and Bad Bunny. The findings shed light on the extensive use of copyrighted material by AI platforms such as Suno and Udio, which often cite fair use as a defense against infringement claims, and could inform future legal challenges in the music industry.
