Tech giant Nvidia is facing a lawsuit over accusations that it trained its AI music models Fugatto and Audio Flamingo on a copyrighted trove of songs without permission.
In a case filed Monday (June 22) in federal court, a Belgian music licensing platform called Jamendo claimed that Nvidia — the world’s most valuable company — had “blatantly disregarded” its rights by exploiting the company’s database of songs.
