AFM Drops AI Lawsuit Against Warner Music Group Corp.
The AFM’s high-stakes AI compensation case is proceeding with Warner Records, not Warner Music Group Corp., named as a defendant. Both sides continue to negotiate a new labor pact, with generative AI a key focus. WMG and Universal pushed back on AFM’s core claims, and the complaint is dismissed as to WMG, while further disputes may center on training-included recordings tied to AFM members.
