That's weird. I thought AI didn't infringe on copyright...
The charges appear to stem from faking listener traffic to get royalties from the streaming services, not from infringing copyrights—the fact that it was AI-generated is probably irrelevant.
As far as I can tell, it's fraud and has nothing to do with copyright.
