Spotify has launched a new tool allowing artists to disclose the use of generative AI in their music. The feature, currently in beta, is being rolled out to Distrokid users and will become available to other distributors in the coming weeks. This move is part of Spotify’s commitment to transparency, as outlined in a blog post titled ‘Spotify Strengthens AI Protections for Artists, Songwriters and Producers.’ The post has been updated to reflect the new feature, which enables artists to credit specific AI contributions, such as vocals, lyrics, or production, in their song credits on mobile.
The new tool is a first step towards providing transparency for fans and acknowledges the growing use of AI in music creation. Artists can now explain exactly how AI was used in their songs, including production, composition, or individual instrument parts. This development is part of a broader industry effort to address the rise of AI-generated music, with other streaming services, such as Apple Music and Deezer, also introducing tags and disclosures for songs containing AI elements. Spotify aims to work towards ‘industry-wide alignment’ to build a comprehensive system for labeling AI use across all streaming services.
