Spotify to Flag AI-Generated Artists With Label

Spotify to Flag AI-Generated Artists With Label

The News

Spotify is rolling out a new "AI Persona" label to flag artists whose identities appear to be AI-generated rather than human.

The badge will appear on the profiles of acts that are flagged, or that self-identify, as not human.

The streaming giant said it will also stop pushing that music, pulling AI Personas from its personalized recommendations.

How It Works

Under the change, a profile carrying the "AI Persona" badge tells listeners upfront that the artist behind it isn't real.

Beyond the label, Spotify said music from those AI Personas will be kept out of the algorithmic recommendations that surface songs to users.

The move comes as Spotify faces what outlets described as an onslaught of AI-generated music flooding the platform.

Reactions

Coverage from Deadline, The Verge and Engadget framed the label as Spotify's attempt to bring transparency to a platform increasingly filled with synthetic acts.

The Verge highlighted that Spotify is going a step further than disclosure by cutting AI Personas out of its recommendation engine, limiting how far the music can spread.

What's Next

Spotify plans to introduce the "AI Persona" badge across artist profiles, with the label applying to acts it flags or that identify themselves as AI-generated.

Listeners can expect to see the tags appear as the company rolls the system out.
