Warner Music Group announced a partnership with AI music startup Suno in November 2025, settling a prior copyright lawsuit and agreeing to develop a licensed AI music creation platform. Under the deal, WMG artists can opt in to allow their names, likenesses, voices, and compositions to be used in AI-generated music on Suno's platform.
Details
As part of the agreement, Suno will launch new licensed AI models in 2026, replacing its current ones, trained on authorized WMG music. The partnership gives Suno's users the ability to create music using the voices and compositions of opt-in WMG artists, with those artists credited and compensated. WMG sold its live music discovery platform Songkick to Suno as part of the deal. The arrangement resolves litigation that WMG and other major labels filed in June 2024 alleging Suno had used copyrighted recordings to train its AI without authorization.
