Many songwriters ask if they can register songs created with Suno:
If you have the Suno $30/mo package, all of the copyrighted rights to the song your create are included. It is the package above Pro. Then, when you go to your pro like BMI or ASCAP, you can register the song. That is as far as I know.
Rules about AI seem to be all over the place. I know that if you create a song using Suno and use your vocals, that is considered AI Assisted. Also, if you create a song on Suno and export the stem files to your DAW and mix master the song using your DAW, same, AI Assisted.
Those can be registered usually without issue. But, start a document or spreadsheet and create a log of these songs and what you did (the human part) to make them AI Assisted. Be sure to store that information in a safe place for later recall if your works are questioned.
If you just create straight AI song on Suno, those normally are not registerable. You have to modify them, adding your "touch".
And wheather Suno's included coprights for the songs are included, beware. They just lost a huge lawsuit and are going to have to pay out millions in damages.

Here is information collected directly from the source:
You wrote the lyrics yourself. Those are human-authored. Suno itself says that if you wrote the lyrics, you own those lyrics, and the U.S. Copyright Office says human-authored expressive material can remain copyrightable even when AI is used elsewhere in the work.
Suno generated the vocals and instrumental/music. Those portions raise a different copyright question. The Copyright Office says AI-generated material is protected only to the extent there is sufficient human authorship; merely prompting an AI isn't enough by itself.
There's also a crucial Suno licensing requirement. Under Suno's current terms, a song downloaded while using a paid Pro or Premier plan can be commercially exploited, including distribution and use in film, television, and video games. Songs generated under the free/basic tier generally do not carry commercial-use rights, and upgrading afterward does not automatically give previously generated songs those rights.
Current U.S. Copyright Office guidance distinguishes human-authored material from AI-generated material, and Suno itself distinguishes commercial-use rights from copyrightability. Suno currently grants commercial use for qualifying downloads on paid plans, while warning that this does not guarantee copyright protection.
