Suno unveils plans to curb AI music spam with watermarking and download limits

In a blog post, Suno's CEO Mikey Shulman outlined the company's principles and next steps as it seeks legitimacy. The company will introduce new watermarking and fingerprinting technology to make Suno-generated content identifiable, aligning with emerging industry standards. Suno also plans to partner with distribution platforms to combat fraud and misuse. Previously, following settlements with Warner Music Group (WMG) and a similar settlement with Udio, Suno announced changes to its download policy, limiting downloads to paying subscribers with a monthly cap, though specifics are not yet detailed. Shulman emphasized transparency, respect for rights holders, and the importance of human-made art, but clarified that Suno will not pass judgment on the artistic value of individual works, leaving the decision to disclose AI use to artists and platforms.
