Spotify to mark AI artists, exclude their music from recommendations

Spotify will mark profiles of artists created by artificial intelligence and exclude their music from recommendations due to...

Consensus

Spotify will begin marking profiles of artists created with artificial intelligence starting in mid-September.
The 'AI Persona' label will indicate that the artist's public identity is generated by AI and not a real person.
Music from AI Personas will be excluded from algorithmic and editorial recommendations by default.
Users will only see music from AI Personas if they have explicitly subscribed to them.
Artists or creators can voluntarily mark their profiles as AI Personas via Spotify for Artists.
Spotify will also independently identify and label AI Personas using AI tools and human moderators.
The decision to label can be appealed by the profile owner.
The label refers only to the artist's public persona, not the method of music creation.
Spotify emphasizes that authenticity and trust are essential in the artist-fan relationship.
