Spotify to Label AI Artists on the Platform With New ‘AI Persona’ Badge

The music of artists tagged with the label will be excluded from personalized recommendations on the service.

Spotify has announced the creation of a new label that will be applied to AI-generated artists and begin rolling out in mid-September. Music from artists bearing the label, called “AI Persona,” will not be included in personalized recommendations on the platform.

Creators can begin disclosing that an artist profile is AI-generated starting Tuesday (Aug. 11). Spotify won’t solely rely on voluntary disclosures, however, as the streaming platform will also review accounts. For accounts that Spotify labels as AI, artists will have the opportunity to either self-disclose or appeal.
