Streaming service TIDAL has announced a new AI policy, saying that it will label AI-generated tracks for transparency, and that not pay royalties on these tracks.
Beginning July 15, listeners will see an AI label on tracks that TIDAL determines are entirely AI-generated. The company says it plans to expand those labels to substantially AI-generated music as detection technology improves.
The policy defines AI-generated music as music that is wholly or substantially created using generative AI, while acknowledging that AI-assisted tools have become a common part of music production.
TIDAL says artists should be free to use AI creatively, but argues that listeners should also be able to identify AI-generated content and that royalty payments should prioritize works “directly produced, written, and performed by people.”
Under the new rules, TIDAL also says it will remove or block AI-generated music associated with fraudulent activity, including content that impersonates artists, exploits a person’s name or likeness, attempts to deceive listeners, or is linked to suspicious upload or streaming behavior.
The company will also require distributors to identify AI-generated music before it reaches the platform, and the same standards will apply to releases distributed through TIDAL Upload.
Artists who believe their music has been incorrectly identified as AI-generated can request a review through TIDAL Support.
This reminds me of companies that log Dog DNA so angry people can try to hunt down the dogs pooping gold on the streets.
who makes money from dog poop?
eh, it’s just todays Muzak. we used to be subjected to it in super markets, elevators, dentists offices, every public space. in some ways it’s preferable to the endless ‘Oldies radio’ crap from the 70’s and 80’s. (tuesday afternoon)
Che dire? è avvenuto un cambiamento antropologico\ontologico\filosofico rivelante…L’A.I. può falsificare la realtà che viviamo proprio perchè essa è vera, stando al concetto di Popper… Ergo la realtà che sperimentiamo è quella vera, quella che genera l’A.I. è falsa. Conseguente ergo, i soggetti che usano l’A.I. falsificando sonoramente la realtà, stabiliscono-rivelano che il (FARE) suono IN QUESTA nostra REALTà è QUELLO VERO.
