Music streaming service TIDAL is introducing a new policy to prevent fully AI-generated music from making money on its platform, using automated tools to remove AI-generated music that impersonates artists. The policy aims to protect and reward organic creativity, allowing listeners to identify AI-generated tracks with an ‘AI’ badge. This move joins other streaming services in addressing the growing number of AI-generated tracks. Why it matters: TIDAL’s policy could be a significant test of whether demonetization can slow the influx of AI music, which many listeners aren’t interested in, and sets a precedent for the music industry’s approach to AI-generated content.
