Apple Music will require labels to tag AI-generated songs
First reported
Engadget ran this on , a day before the next source picked it up.
- Apple Music sent emails this week to music distributors requiring them to flag any tracks where AI created a substantial portion of the content, starting later this year.
- The requirement makes labeling mandatory, unlike Apple's earlier voluntary system, and defines AI content as anything primarily derived from a generative AI service like Suno or Beatoven.
