Suno Training Data Leaked: Scraped Millions of YouTube Songs

The Verge AI · rss · 2026-07-16

According to 404 Media, the training data for AI music generator Suno was accidentally leaked during a hack. The data reveals that Suno scraped millions of songs and lyrics from platforms like YouTube Music, Deezer, and Genius to train its models.

Suno has long refused to disclose the sources and methods used for its training datasets, making this leak a rare piece of internal evidence. This further intensifies the copyright disputes surrounding Suno; the RIAA has previously sued the company for copyright infringement, and Suno itself has admitted to using copyrighted materials.
