AI Music Labeling: Tidal plans to introduce an “AI” icon next to music that is wholly generated by artificial intelligence starting mid-July. Initially, this applies only to fully AI-generated songs and may expand to more substantial AI contributions as detection technology improves.
-
Fraudulent Content Policy: Tidal will remove music from its platform that is either fraudulent or deceptive, targeting AI-generated music intended to mislead listeners or misrepresent authentic artists.
-
Royalty Changes: Tidal will withhold royalties from music that is 100% AI-generated, ensuring that monetization benefits only traditionally produced, written, and performed music by human artists.
-
Industry Adaptation: In response to the surge in AI music tools, Tidal’s policies are part of a broader industry shift towards identifying and managing the rise of AI-generated tracks, with other streaming services like Spotify and Deezer also developing similar tools and guidelines.
-
Support for Artists: Tidal provides a mechanism for artists to dispute AI identifications of their works, offering avenues for corrective actions if their music has been wrongly flagged as AI-generated.
