Jamendo, a music licensing company in Boston, has started a court case against an artificial intelligence (AI) music company named Suno. Jamendo says that Suno used music recordings from Jamendo’s library without permission to help train its AI technology to create new songs. Suno’s system lets users make a song quickly by describing the mood or style they want.

This happened because Jamendo believes that Suno should have asked for permission and bought licences before using their music recordings. Jamendo’s business depends on protecting the rights of independent musicians and making sure artists are paid for their work.

As a result of the lawsuit, Jamendo is asking the court for damages and to stop Suno from using Jamendo’s music to train its AI in the future. The court will now decide what will happen next.
