APPLE Music is set to introduce a 'Made With AI' label to help users identify tracks with substantial generative AI involvement, in response to a surge of AI-generated music flooding streaming platforms. This label will be mandatory for record labels and distributors, moving beyond previous optional labeling systems. The initiative aims to address concerns about diluted royalties for human artists and the quality of music on streaming services.
Rivals like Deezer are also developing tools to identify AI-generated music, highlighting a divided approach in the industry. Apple emphasizes maintaining a high-quality listening experience through human curation, reinforcing its brand image amid the challenges posed by AI-generated content.
