A breach of Suno's source code has raised fresh questions about the AI music generator's training data practices. According to the report, a hacker used an employee's credentials to access the company's source code, which allegedly revealed that Suno scraped decades of audio from YouTube.

The revelation adds to ongoing scrutiny of how generative AI music companies source their training data, and could have significant legal and reputational implications for Suno, which is already facing copyright litigation from major record labels.
