Announced unofficially last March, the labeling system on the Apple Music platform to identify at a glance AI-generated music will arrive by the end of the year.
Label “Created with AI” for audio and visuals
Concretely, content and tracks labeled as “generated by AI” will be identified with a “Created with AI” label visible to users. These labels concern not only the composition, but also the artwork and the music video.
A declaration now mandatory for distributors
At the time of the initial announcement, this labeling was described as optional at the discretion of distributors, but it now appears to be mandatory in “all cases where AI was used to create a substantial part of the content, including tracks generated by an AI platform”.

Last April, Apple Music vice president Oliver Schusser said that more than a third of the tracks added every month are 100% AI-generated, even though AI music accounts for only 0.5% of listens. He added that Apple already has its tool for detecting AI (like Deezer), but prefers to rely on musicians' honesty to declare the use of this technology. For now?
