- YouTube Music is introducing new labels for songs primarily created by AI.
- The label will appear on the player page, and tapping it will open a menu that shares more information.
- AI music labels will also expand to the main YouTube app.
YouTube Music is currently testing a new look for album art, giving the player a sprawling background that stretches across the top third of the page. While that experiment is limited to a small number of users at the moment, YouTube is rolling out a separate change that’s available widely. This update brings some much-needed transparency regarding AI-created music.
YouTube Music has announced it will roll out new labels for AI-created tracks starting today. It should be noted that the company specifies that music “primarily” created by generative AI will receive these labels. For example, if an artist used an AI model to create the song’s composition and vocals, then you’ll see a label on it. That means music where AI was used minimally could still avoid getting labeled.
