titled &#8220;I know, you\u2019re not mine\u201d topped Spotify\u2019s charts in Sweden but was excluded from Sweden\u2019s official chart, Sverigetopplistan.<\/li>\n<li>The exclusion was enforced by IFPI Sweden, which stated that AI-generated songs do not qualify for the official chart under prevailing rules.<\/li>\n<li>Jacub&#8217;s song has been streamed over 5 million times globally, including 200,000 streams in Sweden, and is part of a six-track EP called K\u00e4rleken \u00e4r Br\u00e4nd.<\/li>\n<li>The revelation that Jacub\u2019s music, including Jacub&#8217;s voice, was AI generated was brought to light by investigative journalist Emanuel Karlsten. <\/li>\n<li>The Danish music publisher Stellar, representing Jacub, stressed their commitment to creative music professionals behind the song and their dedication to an artistic vision, and also rejected the label of &#8220;AI music slop&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>Spotify has not excluded the song from its own charts and has not required the labelling of AI-generated music, but has proposed a new industry standard for AI disclosure backed by DDEX.<\/li>\n<li>The success of the AI-generated song underlines the necessity for mandatory AI labelling, to protect artists\u2019 royalties and copyright.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Partly AI-generated folk-pop hit barred from Sweden\u2019s official
