YouTube Music rolls out new AI labeling for music content

Google is implementing a new label in YouTube Music, visible on the player page, to identify songs created entirely or significantly altered with generative AI tools. The labeling system, similar to that used for AI-generated videos on YouTube, will be applied based on publisher input—fully gen AI, partially gen AI, or no gen AI—though this input is optional. Google is working with partners and using its own detection tools to identify this content, and the company states that generative AI opens new ways for artists to create, experiment, and share music.
