Spotify Pulls ‘AI Persona’ Artists Out of Its Recommendations
Spotify will begin labeling artist profiles that do not represent real people as 'AI Persona' starting in mid-September, removing them from recommendations. While artists can voluntarily declare themselves as AI personas, Spotify will also use a combination of human review and AI tools to identify and tag profiles that appear to be AI-generated but were not disclosed. This policy focuses on the identity of the artist rather than the method of music creation.
Deezer now helps users find AI music on other streaming platforms
Deezer has introduced a new feature that helps users discover AI-generated music, even if they primarily use other streaming services. This integration aims to make AI music more accessible to listeners across different platforms.
Deezer says it's being bombarded by 'nearly 75,000' AI-generated tunes every day, and that 97% of survey respondents can't tell the difference between human-made and AI music
Deezer reports receiving nearly 75,000 AI-generated music tracks daily, representing 44% of uploads. The platform's detection measures prevent most of this music from reaching listeners or being monetized, with 85% flagged as fraudulent. Deezer is now licensing its AI detection tools to the wider music industry to combat the spread of AI-generated content, which is seen as a critical challenge threatening creator revenues.

Apple Music can now flag AI content, but only if distributors elect to label it
Apple Music has introduced "Transparency Tags" to allow distributors to label AI-generated content, including artwork, tracks, and music videos. However, the effectiveness of this system relies on labels and distributors voluntarily opting in to declare AI usage, with no apparent enforcement mechanism from Apple.
