AI Music Startup Suno Scrapes Millions of Songs
Suno, an AI music startup, has been caught using millions of songs, lyrics, and podcasts from platforms like YouTube Music and Deezer to train its models.

The dataset includes over 113,000 hours of YouTube Music audio, sparking debates about potential copyright violations and data privacy issues. Suno maintains that its data usage is protected under fair use, but this claim is likely to face scrutiny from the music industry.

Google Revamps Gemini AI Usage and Pricing
Google has shifted its Gemini AI usage model from counting requests to measuring computing power, meaning users might face limits based on task complexity rather than quantity. This change aims to better reflect the resource costs for Google, but it introduces uncertainty for users about when they might reach their limits. Subscription plans now offer varying levels of access, with higher tiers allowing more complex and frequent AI interactions. This adjustment highlights Google's focus on managing resources efficiently, though it may complicate the user experience. Users must now consider the complexity of their tasks when planning AI usage. The new system could lead to more strategic use of AI resources by consumers.
