Spotify<\/a> will start handing out \u201cAI Persona\u201d badges to artist profiles featuring music generated with artificial intelligence<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The new policy will officially go into effect in mid-September, though people behind AI artists will have the option to self-disclose starting today (Aug. 11). Otherwise, Spotify will start reviewing, identifying, and labeling the badge to relevant profiles. Music from artist profiles embossed with the AI Persona badge also won\u2019t appear in any of Spotify\u2019s editorial or algorithmic recommendations (though they can appear in personalized recommendations if a user follows such an artist).<\/p>\n

In a statement, Spotify said it will be looking for artist profiles that appear to use \u201cphotorealistic AI-generated identities.\u201d It\u2019ll also focus primarily on artists \u201cwho have met defined audience thresholds, so the labels cover the vast majority of artist profiles that users visit.\u201d<\/p>\n

The AI Persona badge will appear on artist profiles, as well as in search results and on track rows on playlists. Furthermore, users will be able to see whether the person behind the AI artist chose to self-disclose, or if Spotify stepped in \u201cto review and make an informed determination.\u201d Artists given the AI Persona badge by Spotify will have the chance to self-disclose, or they\u2019ll be able to appeal the decision if it was a mistake.<\/p>\n

Streaming services have seen a drastic rise of AI music<\/a> over the past few years, with several AI personas, like Sienna Rose<\/a> and the Velvet Sundown<\/a>, generating millions of streams. Spotify has already rolled out tools like AI Credits and SongDNA to help identify music made with AI tools, and the company said the new AI Persona badge was about addressing the question of \u201cwhether a profile represents an actual human.\u201d Spotify said that listeners have overwhelmingly made it clear that \u201cthey don\u2019t like seeing an artist profile that seems human, only to find out the persona is AI-generated.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the company has also generated some heat for some of its other AI-focused initiatives. In July, Lorde called out Spotify\u2019s \u201cAbout the Song\u201d feature<\/a> after it appeared to use AI to generate phony information about her Virgin track \u201cCurrent Affairs.\u201d A Spotify spokesperson acknowledged the mistake and noted the \u201cAbout the Song\u201d tool was still in beta.<\/p>\n
