- With AI music, check the licence per subscription first. With AIVA, copyright in the free plan and the Standard plan sits with AIVA itself; only the Pro plan gives you the copyright. Suno allows commercial use only in paid plans, and according to its privacy statement it uses submissions and content to train its models, with storage on servers in the US. Mubert tracks may not be released as standalone releases on Spotify or other streaming services. If you do not want your recordings used for training: LALAL.AI (Switzerland) says it does not use uploaded files for AI training, and plug-ins such as sonible smart:EQ and iZotope Ozone work inside your own DAW. Do not upload unreleased work from clients or labels without their permission, and record in your contract whether and how you use AI.
