TIDAL to Tag AI-Created Tracks and Withhold Royalties

TIDAL unveiled an AI policy that will automatically tag fully AI-generated tracks in its app and block royalties for those releases, while allowing AI-created music that meets its standards. The policy also forbids AI works that impersonate artists or involve fraud and requires distributors to flag AI content before it reaches the platform; a consumer AI badge will appear on qualifying tracks and the tagging will expand as detection improves. The demonetization takes effect mid-July, following similar actions by Deezer, Qobuz, Apple Music and Spotify to curb AI-driven fraud and ensure royalties go to original human-created works.

Spotify rolls out 'Verified by Spotify' badge to flag authentic artists amid AI concerns

Spotify is rolling out a 'Verified by Spotify' badge with a green checkmark to show artists meet authenticity signals such as linked social accounts, consistent listener activity, merch, or tour dates; the company says the vast majority of artists fans search for will be verified and rollout will occur over the coming weeks. The move aims to reduce confusion around AI-generated personas, but critics warn verification may penalize real artists who lack certain markers and note that it doesn't prove a track was not AI-assisted.

Deezer grapples with AI-saturated uploads as 75k AI tracks upload daily

Deezer reports AI-generated music has surged to about 75,000 tracks per day (over 2 million per month), making up 44% of all new uploads, while AI streams remain only 1-3% of total plays and about 85% of those are fraudulent and demonetized; Deezer has stopped storing hi‑res AI tracks, expanded platform-wide AI detection (and licensed the tech to others), and says it can identify 100% of AI content from leading models, having tagged over 13.4 million AI tracks in 2025, as industry debates how to protect artists’ rights and ensure transparency, with peers like Apple Music and Spotify pursuing disclosure standards rather than detection.

Deezer: AI-made uploads hit 44% of new music, yet AI streams are largely demonetized

Deezer reports that about 44% of new uploads are AI-generated (roughly 75,000 AI tracks daily), but AI streams account for only about 1–3% of listening because roughly 85% are demonetized as fraudulent; the company’s AI-detection tech has a false-positive rate under 0.01%, and AI tracks are excluded from recommendations. A survey found 97% of listeners can’t reliably tell AI from human-made songs, underscoring labeling challenges in the growing AI-music space.
