- Apple Music has introduced “Transparency Tags” to inform listeners about AI-generated content.
- Tags will identify AI-created artwork, tracks, compositions, and music videos.
- Labels and distributors need to opt in and manually flag AI-generated content using the tags.
- Unlike other platforms, Apple Music does not have a mandatory enforcement mechanism for AI content.
- Dezer and Bandcamp use in-house AI detection tools to flag AI content regardless of distributor input.
- Deezer disclosed receiving over 60,000 AI-generated tracks daily as of January 2026, with 13.4 million synthetic tracks on its platform.
