Spotify Labels AI Artists | Music News

Spotify’s launching an “AI Persona” badge to flag artist profiles created by AI, starting next month — a move designed to boost transparency as AI-generated music floods platforms. The label will appear on profiles, search results, and playlists, but AI-created tracks won’t be recommended unless you follow them. Artists can self-report their AI status now, and Spotify will audit unreported cases. Listeners will soon be able to report suspicious profiles too. Crucially, this targets the artist identity, not the music itself — human artists using AI tools are unaffected. The move follows Spotify’s crackdown on spam and comes as rivals like Apple Music and TIDAL also grapple with AI content, while Deezer builds detection tools. But tensions run high: artists like Lorde and SZA warn AI threatens creativity, even as Spotify partners with fans to reimagine songs through AI.
