Copilot with Suno

Microsoft’s AI-powered chatbot, Copilot, has joined forces with the GenAI music app Suno to enable users to compose songs effortlessly. By inputting prompts such as “Create a pop song about adventures with your family” into Copilot, users can utilize the Suno plug-in to transform their ideas into complete songs, complete with lyrics, instrumentals, and singing voices. This integration is accessible through Microsoft Edge by visiting Copilot.Microsoft.com, logging in with a Microsoft account, and enabling the Suno plug-in or clicking on the Suno logo labeled “Make music with Suno.” The collaboration aims to democratize music creation, with the experience rolling out to users progressively.

The partnership between Microsoft Copilot and Suno reflects the growing trend among tech giants and startups to invest in GenAI-driven music creation technology. In November, Google AI lab DeepMind and YouTube introduced Lyria, a GenAI model for music, and Dream Track, a tool for building AI tunes in YouTube Shorts. Meta has also explored AI music generation experiments. Despite this surge in innovation, ethical and legal issues surrounding AI-synthesized music persist. Questions of consent, compensation for artists, and the potential exploitation of creators remain unresolved, leading to debates about fair use and intellectual property rights.

Suno, while contributing to the evolving landscape of AI-generated music, faces scrutiny for not disclosing its AI training data sources on its website. Unlike some competitors, Suno does not restrict users from entering prompts like “in the style of [artist],” raising concerns about the potential misuse of copyrighted material. As debates over usage rights unfold in legal forums, viral homemade tracks utilizing GenAI to replicate authentic sounds have surfaced, prompting music labels to address intellectual property concerns with streaming platforms. While legal clarity on the status of GenAI music may emerge through court decisions, a newly introduced Senate bill seeks to provide artists with recourse when their digital likenesses, including musical styles, are used without permission.
