Elvis Presley's rights holders and an Eminem publisher are suing AI music company Suno over copied voices and styles

The Verge reports that rights holders of Elvis Presley's music and the publisher of some of Eminem's biggest records are suing AI music company Suno, claiming it generates music and lyrics that mimic those artists. The Presley suit relies on Tennessee's ELVIS Act, which makes it illegal for an AI company to clone a singer's voice. Suno says it does not allow prompts for specific artists.

• If you use Suno or a similar tool for videos, adverts or your shop, read its commercial licence and keep a note of which tool made each track and when.
• Do not prompt an AI music tool with a real artist's name or ask for a sound-alike, since that is the kind of use these cases target.
