Apple Music will soon tell you which songs were made with AI
Apple Music is rolling out AI labels for songs later this year, letting listeners see which tracks were made using artificial intelligence platforms.
Apple Music is set to introduce AI labels for tracks that were created using artificial intelligence. According to an email obtained by The Hollywood Reporter, the labels will be visible to listeners later this year. This follows Apple's announcement in March that it would add transparency tags for content "materially generated using AI."
The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) have also urged streaming services to clearly label AI-generated content, similar to how they handle explicit tracks. Spotify had already implemented AI labels earlier this month, keeping AI artist profiles out of editorial and algorithmic recommendations.
Apple Music's decision to follow suit comes after the company increased its penalty fees for streaming fraud earlier this year. The move aims to tackle the rise of AI content in music, though it remains unclear how Apple plans to enforce the new rules. With both major music streaming platforms adopting AI transparency, the technology might finally catch up to the speed at which it is evolving.
