Is that singer even real? Music streaming services are starting to tell you.

YouTube Music and Deezer are adding ways to identify or avoid AI-generated music. Spotify and Apple Music have their own approaches.

Is that singer even real? Music streaming services are starting to tell you.

Streaming services YouTube Music and Deezer have introduced new features to help listeners identify whether a song is AI-generated or created by real musicians. YouTube Music will display labels on AI-generated tracks, providing more information when tapped. Deezer will allow users to filter out fully AI-generated music from search results.

Spotify and Apple Music have also implemented AI-related features, such as artist profile badges and transparency tags, but their approaches differ in specificity and reliance on reporting. While some listeners may find these labels helpful, others question the validity of AI-generated music and its impact on the music industry.
