Industry bodies including the RIAA and IFPI are spearheading a new initiative to identify AI-generated content across streaming services. The proposal seeks to establish a standardized tagging system to distinguish machine-generated music from human-created tracks.
Coverage from the Wall Street Journal, Billboard, Music Business Worldwide, Music Ally, and eCoustics highlights a coordinated effort by major labels to increase transparency. Reports note that TIDAL has already stated AI music will be allowed on its platform but will be ineligible for payment.
Details regarding the technical implementation of these labels and the timeline for adoption remain forthcoming. Coverage does not yet specify how streaming platforms outside of TIDAL intend to address the payment status of identified AI-generated tracks.
