Over 35 years after the introduction of the Parental Advisory sticker, the record industry is now weighing whether to place labels on music that utilizes AI.
In a joint announcement from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the Grammys, SAG-AFTRA and other organizations in the music community, the groups declared "a unified approach to voluntary track labeling to give fans clearer information about the use of generative AI (GenAI) in sound recordings."
Their proposal is to add digital markers — like those denoting explicit lyrics on streaming services — to songs either entirely created or assisted by AI technology. A black block with large "AI" would signify "AI-Generated" tracks, while a white block with a smaller "ai" would be used for songs that are "AI-assisted."
"Fans want to know whether and how generative AI has been used in the music to which they listen," IFPI CEO Vikki Oakley and RIAA Chairman & CEO Mitch Glazier said in a joint statement. "Given how important human artistry and authenticity is to music lovers all over the world, these labels will provide an immediately understandable and easily scalable approach to transparency. We acknowledge the many ways AI is being used creatively, so we expect to offer fans additional information as adoption of generative AI labeling grows and technology evolves."
The call for "transparency" comes following reports detailing the rampant amount of AI music being uploaded onto streaming services; Deezer reported that AI-generated songs made up 44 percent of all new uploads, while Apple Music that one-third of new music uploaded onto the service is "100% AI."
"These new labels will help listeners distinguish between wholly AI recordings and those where AI was used by human artists in limited ways," the companies' press release added.

oh yeah…I TOTALLY trust them….
I stopped listening to music , I don’t even turn the radio on in the car anymore ,LOL
I wish YouTube would label all the AI slop now littering their site.
As long as my drum machines and autotune is free from AI
It’s very hard to tell what is Ai and what isn’t. Ai music sucks. But so does music made by humans today.
Really. The medical videos with fake AI doctors are the absolute worst. The AI farms take a real doctor, generate his face and voice using AI, write a script and pretend to be him.
If anyone is into “surf music” of a sort:
Pink Moon

There is still good music made by humans but the music industry doesn’t promote it at all, instead they push trash made by idiots to those that wouldn’t know good music if it ran over them with a bus.
The tune had been haunting London for weeks past. It was one of countless similar songs published for the benefit of the proles by a sub-section of the Music Department. The words of these songs were composed without any human intervention whatever on an instrument known as a versificator. But the woman sang so tunefully as to turn the dreadful rubbish into an almost pleasant sound.
It’s very hard to tell what is Ai and what isn’t.
Just don’t listen to any music made before the year 2000. Problem solved.
Ooops, that’s
Just don’t listen to any music made AFTER the year 2000. Problem solved.
I listen mostly to music made by people who were long dead before the technology took over. AI problem solved.
Except that CD sales are increasing again, one reason is because AI is now screwing around ‘fixing’ notes in classic songs, and changing the time format/length etc.
AI slop for sure. No life, no soul, no spirit.
I’m a fan of analog, Vinyl, but fine with CDs.
If you hear piece of new music and you like it, why does it matter whether it’s ai or not?
Here's a bit of hidden/nostalgic "surf sound" ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ex1109FzrOo
Some of the kids are catching on to what is happening with physical media and are trying to get their own copy before its too late. DVD/Blurays and LPs too.
That is very smart,
I heard where Sony is soon quitting physical media for game discs, not sure what else that may mean. They want everything to be a subscription only.
AI will first water down before destroying human creativity.
They need a sticker for all the lip syncing “singers too!!
Such as “TS” sticker (Taylor Swift)
