YouTube Music rolls out new labeling system for AI-generated music across its platforms

YouTube Music announced a new labeling system to improve transparency regarding songs created with generative AI, including composition and vocals. The labels, which will appear on the player page and extend to the main YouTube app, allow partners to designate tracks as 'Fully Gen AI,' 'Partly Gen AI,' or 'No Gen AI'; tracks edited with pitch-correction tools like Auto-Tune fall under 'No Gen AI.' This move comes as other platforms like Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer, and TIDAL are also implementing various approaches, ranging from strict exclusion (Deezer) to disclosure (YouTube).
