Apple Music to add Transparency Tags to distinguish AI music, says report

TechCrunch
Apple Music will introduce new metadata tags allowing distributors to flag AI-generated or AI-assisted content.

Summary

Apple Music is implementing a new system requiring record labels and distributors to use specific metadata tags to flag content created or assisted by Artificial Intelligence. According to a report from Music Business Worldwide, Apple informed industry partners via a newsletter about rolling out these 'Transparency Tags.' These tags will allow flagging of AI involvement in different aspects of a song, such as artwork, the track itself, composition (lyrics), or music videos. This approach relies on distributors voluntarily choosing to tag the content, similar to a path Spotify is taking, contrasting with platforms like Deezer that attempt in-house AI detection tools, which face accuracy challenges.
