A.I. is changing music. Three record labels are suing two A.I. start-up companies. The labels say the start-ups are illegally using their copyrighted music on "an almost unimaginable scale". The labels say the companies could fill the market with "machine-generated content". This could end real music.

A.I. companies say their music is protected under a special law called "fair use". This means people can use material for things like news and comedy. A start-up CEO said his website makes "new output, not…pre-existing content". The record labels want the start-ups to pay $150,000 per song.
