What happened
On 18 September 2026 in Paris, Sacem (France), GEMA (Germany) and PRS for Music (UK) announced the Music Licensing Collective (MLC), a joint vehicle to license music for AI training, and announced agreements with the AI music generators Suno and Udio, presented as first-of-their-kind deals intended as a model for AI music licensing. The three societies say the collective approach — rather than fragmented national licensing — is meant to ensure creators are paid when their music is used to train AI systems.
Why it may matter to you
This is one of the first collective, multi-country licensing mechanisms aimed squarely at AI training on music — the licensing counterpart to the infringement suits the same sector has brought against Suno and Udio.
What is not yet known
The deals' financial terms, which catalogues are covered, and whether other AI music companies join.
