Musician who used AI to create fake songs charged with $10 Million Streaming Fraud

Suno (https://suno.com/) has raised over $125mm; Udio has raised over $10mm recently. When I tried creating some music it felt like they can almost replace artists. The two AI companies, Suno and Udio, use text prompts to churn out original songs. Both companies have enjoyed a level of success: Suno is available for use in Microsoft Copilot though a partnership with the tech giant. Udio was used to create “BBL Drizzy,” one of the more notable examples of AI music going viral. The case against Suno was filed in Boston federal court, and the Udio case was filed in New York. The labels say artists across genres and eras had their work used without consent. The lawsuits were brought by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the powerful group representing major players in the music industry, and a group of labels. The RIAA is seeking damages of up to $150,000 per work, along with other fees.

- US officials and allies have dismantled an AI-powered Russian bot farm with nearly 1,000 fake accounts on X, spreading disinformation and pro-Russian sentiments. - The Justice Department revealed the bot farm was created by RT's digital media department, led by RT's deputy editor-in-chief and funded by Russia's Federal Security Service. - The FBI, along with Dutch and Canadian authorities, identified the tool 'Meliorator' used to create authentic-looking social media personas and spread disinformation. - Authorities seized two domains used to create email addresses for the bot accounts, which violated US laws including the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and federal money laundering laws. - The bot farm, which impersonated Americans and posted pro-Russian content, planned to expand to other platforms, highlighting the growing use of AI in foreign disinformation campaigns.

I was reading news continuously for half an hr and keep on clicking on news headline. I reached to a page where it says, an Infosys founder explaining how they have built an Algo trading platform which will make you rich. From the 1st look, I thought it could be real but NO. This is what I understood ↙️ Business model: Investor add approx 20k and platform will start an automated trading in Crypto, taking mostly the winning deals so that capital increases everyday. To find the reality, I registered and got a call where executive explaining how Mukesh Ambani has announced this platform. MUKESH AMBANI? This was the 1st hint of a scam. Then she asked to screen share for helping me to put money. I was like call me in 1 hr, in the meantime I tried to report this on cybercrime site.
