- Tidal has introduced a new policy to curtail the streaming of AI-generated music on its platform.
- Starting on June 29, Tidal will not attribute royalties to wholly AI-generated music identified by the company.
- Tidal will begin identifying and tagging 100% AI-generated music and will block or remove it if used fraudulently.
- Tidal plans to also identify and tag substantially AI-generated music as detection methods improve reliability.
- The policy was motivated by listener desire to avoid AI-generated music and the issue of fraudulent impersonations of artists for financial gain.
- Tidal’s commitment is to protect organic creativity and ensure that artists can connect authentically with their fanbase.
- The policy is not positioned against technological progress but to safeguard artist-listener connections.
- Tidal is prepared to update its policy as AI technology progresses.
