Suno has published a set of principles outlining its approach to responsible AI music creation, alongside new features designed to curb mass distribution and improve transparency.
In a blog post authored by co-founder and CEO Mikey Shulman, the company describes its principles as ‘always rooted in supporting artistry and creativity.’ The post frames Suno as a creative assistant tool and emphasizes its commitment to the music industry, fraud prevention, artist rights, metadata, and misuse.
Shulman announced a forthcoming downloads policy aimed at limiting the ability to mass distribute songs on streaming platforms. The move comes as data from Deezer indicates that over 50% of uploaded music is now AI-generated. Suno is also rolling out transparency tools that use audio watermarking and fingerprinting technology to help distribution platforms detect fraud and misuse.
The post does not disclose which music was used to train Suno’s models. Shulman said the platform ‘intentionally chose not to use artist names in our training metadata’ to encourage users to create original music. He added:
AI should help people create something new, not imitate someone else’s work.
