Hack reveals Suno scraped YouTube, Deezer, Genius for training

Data obtained via a hack of AI music generator Suno reportedly shows the company scraped millions of songs and lyrics from YouTube Music, Deezer, and Genius to train its models. Suno had not previously disclosed its training data sources and already faces lawsuits, including one from the RIAA, over alleged use of copyrighted material.

Why it matters: It's a rare concrete look inside an AI company's undisclosed training data sourcing amid ongoing copyright litigation.
