Surely, you\u2019ve heard Mariah Carey\u2019s holiday smash hit, \u201cAll I Want for Christmas Is You.\u201d But have you heard about this other song? It\u2019s also called \u201cAll I Want for Christmas Is You,\u201d<\/a> and uh, it sounds a lot like Mariah Carey. We\u2019re about to spend a long time litigating how that happened.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n On this episode of The Vergecast<\/em><\/a>, with the help of Switched on Pop<\/em><\/a>\u2019s Charlie Harding, we dig deep into the new lawsuit filed by the RIAA<\/a> against two AI companies, Udio and Suno. Those two companies are alleged to have violated music industry copyrights by ingesting vast quantities of recorded songs in order to train their AI models. Copyright law is complicated<\/a>, these fights against AI companies are everywhere, and there\u2019s really no telling how this is all going to go. But there\u2019s really no way to hear the AI sing \u201cJay-son De-RULO\u201d and not know exactly where it came from.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n After that, we talk about the upcoming phone releases from Samsung<\/a>, Google<\/a>, and Motorola<\/a> and try to figure out if any of the AI features we\u2019ll hear about will actually convince us to buy a new phone. We also talk about some big-deal<\/a> speaker news, because this is the summer of the party speaker<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
