Tidal Cracks Down

Tidal has introduced new policies to address AI-generated music on its platform, focusing on transparency and fair compensation for human artists. The streaming service will label 100% AI-generated tracks with an icon starting July 15th and has already stopped paying royalties on these tracks. This move aims to protect original creators and inform listeners about the music they’re listening to. Why it matters: Tidal’s approach sets a precedent for the music industry to navigate the complexities of AI-generated content and ensure that human artists receive fair recognition and compensation.
