Singer or clanker? YouTube Music will tell you with new gen AI labeling.

The AI music labels are rolling out now in YouTube Music and will come to YouTube soon.

The short version

• Genuine human creativity takes time, but you know what doesn’t?
• There are countless AI models out there that can make something that passes for music, and you might come across those tracks on streaming services without realizing it.
• Google says it will begin labeling that content in YouTube Music, building on similar disclosures in the main YouTube app.

What happened

Google is not outright banning AI music or even speaking ill of it. “Generative AI is opening up new ways for artists to create, experiment, and share music,” the company says in a blog post.

Why it matters

However, the company also acknowledges that people want to know if a song was created with generative AI tools.
