YouTube Music is rolling out an “AI” label below track titles and artist names, beside the like and dislike icons, starting Wednesday. Selecting the label opens an explanation that the audio was altered or fully generated using AI. YouTube says it will mark tracks created primarily with generative AI, including music whose composition or vocals were made by an AI model. The service is applying the same technology it uses to identify AI-generated content on YouTube, with labeling rules developed in collaboration with music industry partners.

Deezer announced a toggle that will let listeners remove all AI-generated tracks from their own version of the streaming service. CEO Alexis Lanternier said the option responds to clear user demand and lets listeners focus on human creators if they choose. Deezer previously developed tools to detect and label AI music, then removed AI tracks from algorithmic recommendations. The company says more than 50% of uploads to its platform are AI-generated, and more than 90,000 tracks are uploaded daily.

YouTube has not said whether it will exclude AI tracks from algorithmic recommendations. The company says it does not want to restrict access to AI music, which it says lets people create, experiment and share. Spotify uses AI persona badges on artist profiles; its individual AI songs are harder to find because they are excluded from recommendations and editorial playlists. Tidal has demonetized AI-generated tracks while keeping them available to stream. Apple Music says it plans transparency tags before the end of the year through a voluntary disclosure system, while Amazon Music has not detailed plans for managing AI-generated music.
