Automated excerpt
YouTube said it collaborated with various music partners and deployed its own detection tools to identify AI-generated music. According to its help page, partners using YouTube can declare their work’s use of generative AI through one of three designations: “Fully Gen AI,” “Partly Gen AI,” or “No Gen AI. ” “Fully Gen AI” applies to tracks that are entirely generated by AI, while “Partly Gen AI” refers to works where artists may have incorporated AI-generated components but added their own live elements. Spotify also has AI labels, as well as a music spam filter.
