Apple Music will soon get visible labels for AI
Key Points:
- Apple Music will require visible AI transparency labels, called "Made With AI Labels," on new artwork, tracks, compositions, and music videos that involve AI-generated content starting later this year.
- Content providers must include AI Transparency Tags whenever AI was used to create a material portion of the content, including fully AI-platform-generated tracks derived primarily from generative AI services.
- The initiative aims to increase transparency for listeners amid the growing use of generative AI in music production, following similar moves by streaming platforms like Spotify and Deezer.
- Despite over a third of monthly uploads to Apple Music being fully AI-generated, these tracks currently account for less than 0.5% of total listening on the platform, according to Apple Music's lead Oliver Schusser.
- Apple Music requires a subscription costing $11.99 per month or access via the Apple One bundle, with a free one-month trial available.
