AI-generated country hit tops Billboard chart, using tech built in Massachusetts
"The ultra-realistic AI-made track, which has racked up more than 4.6 million streams on Spotify, has ignited fierce debate online about the future of music and what happens when machines start topping the charts. Inside Edition reports that the song was created using Suno, an AI-music platform founded and based in Cambridge. The milestone comes just weeks after Bloomberg reported that Suno is in talks to raise more than $100 million from investors - a deal that could value the company at over $2 billion, quadrupling its previous valuation."
"Suno AI creates music by using artificial intelligence to convert text prompts into complete songs with vocals and instruments. By analyzing the user input, from a descriptive text, custom lyrics, or even a song tune, the AI creates original music with vocals, instruments, and beats, in a variety of genres based off the musical styles and patterns it learned from vast datasets."
""It's still really early days in understanding how this plays out from almost every perspective," said Wyner. "The technology is still improving, but imperfect. For anybody who's paying attention, it's pretty easy to tell the difference between human-made music and machine-made music.""
An AI-generated country song credited to Breaking Rust reached No. 1 on Billboard's Country Digital Song Sales chart and accumulated over 4.6 million Spotify streams. The track's vocals and instrumentation were produced by Suno, a Cambridge-based AI-music platform that converts text prompts and user input into complete songs by drawing on patterns from large datasets. Suno is reportedly seeking over $100 million in funding that could value the company above $2 billion. The release has provoked debate about the role of AI in music, potential industry impacts, and the current limitations and distinguishability of machine-made versus human-made music.
