  "account": "YouTube Music has introduced labels for AI-generated songs on its platform. Beginning on October 14, listeners will see an AI label on song player pages, indicating whether a track was primarily created using generative AI. Tapping the label provides more information about the song's production. YouTube collaborated with record labels and distributors, who can declare tracks as \"Fully Gen AI,\" \"Partly Gen AI,\" or \"No Gen AI\" through supported metadata feeds. Industry-standard tools, like Auto-Tune, remain classified as \"No Gen AI.\" Unlabeled tracks do not guarantee human authorship, and the labels do not affect recommendation settings or monetization eligibility. While YouTube's disclosure aims to increase transparency, other platforms may apply separate filters and restrictions.",
