Spotify has reinforced its policy against generative artificial intelligence (AI) in music, through a new spam filtering system and stricter rules against impersonation, the streaming platform announced this Thursday in a statement.<\/p>\n
To improve protection in cases of identity theft, vocal imitation will only be permitted in the music available on Spotify when the imitated artist has expressly authorized its use.<\/p>\n
In addition, it will allocate more money to combat cases in which content is fraudulently uploaded through another artist’s profile on ‘streaming’ services, whether it’s AI-generated music or not.<\/p>\n
And to improve the process of reviewing incorrect content so that artists can report potential mismatches even before the official release of the albums.<\/p>\n
A new musical ‘spam’ filter will also be applied, a system that will identify those who upload content and the tracks that use these tactics, in addition to labeling them and stopping recommending them.<\/p>\n
Spotify is also involved in the development of a new industry standard for AI usage declarations in music credits. As this information is submitted by labels, distributors, and music partners, it will begin to appear in the platform’s application.<\/p>\n
This way, artists and rights holders will have a clear way to indicate “where and how AI intervened in the creation of a track, whether in AI-generated vocals, instrumentation, or post-production.”<\/p>\n
“It’s not about punishing artists who use AI responsibly, nor will it affect how content is prioritized or promoted on Spotify,” the platform assures.<\/p>\n
The goal is to “fight against impersonation, ‘spam,’ and deception,” which have grown at the same rate as total payments for music on Spotify, which have gone from $1 billion in 2014 to $10 billion in 2024. High payments that “attract malicious actors.”<\/p>\n
According to Spotify, the music industry “needs a nuanced approach to transparency in the use of AI, without the obligation to classify each song as ‘is AI’ or ‘is not AI'”. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
