Apple Music Will Also Now Label AI-Generated Songs
The music industry is facing a moral and existential crisis as AI-generated music becomes increasingly prevalent. The latest development in streaming platforms’ response is that Apple Music will begin labeling AI-generated songs.

Apple Music is set to introduce a new labeling system for AI-generated songs, according to recent reports. The music streaming platform will begin using "Made With AI Labels" later this year, confirming earlier indications from March, as detailed in an email distributed to industry partners. Apple Music emphasized that content providers are crucial partners in this endeavor, as they are best positioned to determine how their content was created and to utilize AI Transparency Tags.
The email clarified that any instance where AI was employed to create a significant part of the content, including AI platform-generated tracks, will necessitate the inclusion of these AI Transparency Tags. While Apple Music did not specify a specific launch date, competitors such as Spotify, Deezer, TIDAL, Bandcamp, Qobuz, and Beatport have taken various stances on AI-generated music, ranging from labeling AI-assisted content to banning fully AI-generated songs. Amazon Music has not yet commented on the matter.
