There are countless AI models out there that can make something that passes for music, and you might come across those tracks on streaming services without realizing it. Google says it's going to begin labeling that content in YouTube Music, building on similar disclosures in the main YouTube app. Google is not outright banning AI music or even speaking ill of it.

Get smart on it
Google is adding labels to music created or significantly altered with generative AI tools on its streaming platform, rolling out now with plans to expand to its main video platform soon. The labels appear on the player page and can be tapped for more information, though users cannot simply block labeled AI tracks from playlists. Publishers can voluntarily disclose how much AI was used when uploading content, and Google will also attempt to detect AI music through its own tools, watermarking from AI generation, and metadata standards, though detection methods may miss AI content created through various tools that leave no identifying marks. The labeling aims to address user interest in knowing whether music was AI-generated, though the company frames generative AI as a tool that opens new creative possibilities rather than something to be rejected outright.
