Read the answer →Practical answers about AI music
Clear answers about rights, money, platforms and releasing music, with sources when you want to go deeper.

A work generated entirely by AI cannot be copyrighted in the US — the human-authorship requirement was affirmed by the D.C.
Read the answer →Can I release AI music under an artist persona that isn't a real person?
Yes — synthetic artist personas are legal and increasingly common, as long as the persona doesn't imitate a real identifiable person and you meet platform disclosure rules.

Suno currently grants commercial-use rights to songs made while subscribed to Pro or Premier; Basic-plan songs are non-commercial.
