SZA Hits Out at 'Disgusting' AI Music

SZA said an AI music database showed 238 of her songs were used in training, including tracks she believes may be unreleased.

  • Grammy Award winning singer-songwriter SZA criticized AI companies on Instagram yesterday after discovering 238 of her songs were used in training datasets, calling the technology "degenerate."
  • The Atlantic recently released a detection tool revealing AI training datasets include more than 21 million songs, often without artist consent, prompting SZA to verify her catalog.
  • SZA alleged that producer Diplo holds equity in Suno and actively targets Black writers and producers for training data, arguing AI disproportionately affects Black music lacking legislative protections.
  • Two weeks ago, the American Federation of Musicians sued UMG and Warner Music over their alleged licensing of proprietary titles to AI music generator companies Suno and Udio.
  • Suno defends its models using "Original Creation, By Design" strategies to prevent reproducing copyrighted material, though producer Kenny Beats argues training on unauthorized music obliterates the dreams of artists.
