Universal Music Group in Podcasts

Two major labels, Warner Music Group and Universal Music Group, have also signed licensing deals with AI music generators.

In one of the most prominent such deals, Universal Music Group settled its copyright infringement lawsuit with the AI music creation platform Udeo in October and announced a partnership with its former adversary to launch a subscription service in 2026.

Universal Music, Sony, and Warner have sued some of the AI companies that are using generative AI music, like Suno and Udio, because they believe that those companies had trained their models with the music that Universal Music Group and others own and are the rights holders to.
