## Key points

- Elvis Presley’s rights owners have sued AI music firm Suno.
- They allege its tools generate unauthorised imitations of his voice.
- The case tests Tennessee’s ELVIS Act against AI companies.

## Summary

Elvis Presley Enterprises has sued AI music company Suno, alleging it unlawfully lets users generate songs that imitate Presley’s voice and likeness. The case invokes Tennessee’s ELVIS Act, which allows legal action against technology firms that enable unauthorised voice or image cloning, and could test how far such laws reach.

Filed on 6 November, the lawsuit says Suno’s claim that its tools cannot mimic specific artists is false and points to online examples it describes as synthetic, unlicensed Presley vocals. Presley’s rights are controlled by Elvis Presley Enterprises, part of Authentic Brands Group, which says it vigorously protects them. Suno had not responded to a request for comment; the company is also facing separate copyright claims over music used to train its models.
