From CNET: Streaming your daily tunes is about to come with a bit more clarity. YouTube has expanded its labeling system to mark AI-generated songs on YouTube Music. As AI music continues to flood streaming apps, the service’s latest move aims to keep listeners informed about what they’re hearing and whether it was produced by humans. These labels will eventually appear on the main YouTube app as well.
“Generative AI is opening up new ways for artists to create, experiment, and share music,” YouTube said through its official blog on Wednesday. “As these tools evolve, our listeners have told us they want transparency when they’re hearing an AI-generated track.”
The labels in question will appear on songs that YouTube identifies as created primarily with generative AI, based on its own detection tools and music partners. It’s not clear how much AI must be featured in a track to qualify for this label.
A YouTube spokesperson didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
YouTube’s decision to mark AI music is the latest move to clarify the growing presence of AI-generated tunes across the music streaming landscape. Earlier this year, Apple Music unveiled a suite of tools to identify AI-generated content, saying new Made with AI labels will roll out by year’s end. Spotify now includes AI Personas, which help people confirm if musicians are actually people making human-made music.
