Spotify to unveil badge identifying AI music

Spotify intends to roll out a new "AI Persona" badge in mid-September, announced on Tuesday. This badge will clearly label AI-generated content, distinguishing it from music created by real people. Spotify's statement explained that listeners have expressed a preference for recognizing when a persona is AI-generated, rather than being surprised to discover it after engaging with the content.

The company's decision to introduce this badge stems from the broader industry concern over AI-generated music cluttering streaming platforms. In April, Spotify introduced the "Verified by Spotify" badge, indicating that a profile has undergone review and meets the company's authenticity standards. The new "AI Persona" badge will complement this existing verification system.

Spotify plans to apply the AI Persona badge to relevant profiles, in addition to those that self-identify as AI Personas. However, the company assures listeners that AI Personas will not appear in editorial or personalized recommendations, unless a user follows an AI Persona.
