YouTube Music adds labels for AI generated content
YouTube Music now shows an oblong AI label below track names when AI played a significant role, including fully AI generated songs and tracks built around AI created vocals. Tapping the label explains how the technology was used.
New AI labels appear in YouTube Music
YouTube Music has added clear labels that denote whether a track has been generated by AI. An oblong label that reads AI sits directly below the track name, making it difficult to miss on songs that were fully generated by AI and on tracks that used a model to create major components such as vocals. YouTube says the label will accompany anything where AI played a significant role.
Details explain how AI was used
Tapping the label opens a menu that provides information about how AI was used. The company says this can help inform users if they should continue listening. YouTube describes the approach as a clean solution, and it resembles the way YouTube already labels AI generated video content on the main platform.
More music video labels and wider industry moves
Because the regular YouTube app hosts a large amount of music videos and related content, the company says these specific labels are also coming to the video player at some point. YouTube Music is not the only platform addressing the issue. Spotify has begun labeling fake artists, while Deezer is implementing a filtering system that weeds out AI.
