Spotify is set to introduce a new label identifying AI-generated artists on its platform, with the feature due to begin from mid-September.
The change will inform listeners when an artist has been generated using artificial intelligence. The platform will also remove those AI-generated artists from recommendations, meaning they will not be promoted to users through Spotify’s recommendation features.
The move affects how listeners discover music and artist profiles on the service. By marking AI-generated artists clearly, Spotify is creating a distinction between such accounts and other artists available on the platform.
The planned feature is expected to start from mid-September. No further details were provided in the supplied material about how Spotify will determine whether an artist is AI-generated, whether the label will apply globally, or what form the notice will take within the app.
The latest position is that Spotify intends to add the AI-generated artist label and exclude those artists from recommendations when the feature begins rolling out from mid-September.
