Leading music industry bodies presented two labels for music created by generative artificial intelligence on Friday, aiming to secure their adoption by streaming platforms, reports Index.hr.
The initiative is led by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) and the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), and is supported by the organisations behind the Grammy Awards and several independent music associations.
The first label, 'AI-generated', would apply to songs in which AI created all or most of the creative elements. This includes music generated solely from text prompts, as well as songs where the main vocal performance or a significant instrumental part was produced by AI.
The second label, 'AI-assisted', is intended for songs with significant human contribution where AI was used for specific elements. The condition is that the main instrumental parts and all vocals are performed by humans.
The proposers state they will work with streaming services, distributors, aggregators and regulatory bodies on the implementation of the classification system.
Among the major music platforms, only Deezer currently systematically labels AI-generated songs. Spotify introduced the 'Verified by Spotify' label at the end of April, which suggests based on multiple criteria that the performer is likely human rather than an AI avatar.
