YouTube labels AI music; Deezer lets you hide it

YouTube Music has started labelling tracks where AI played a significant role, and tapping the label explains how it was used. Music partners declare whether a track is fully AI-generated, partly AI-generated or not AI, and YouTube runs its own detection too. AI involvement alone won't stop a track earning money. Separately, Deezer says a switch to hide AI-generated tracks, albums and artists arrives before the end of the year. In July it said about 90,000 tracks a day, more than half its uploads, were AI-made.

Why it matters: If you use AI-generated music in ads, videos or in-store playlists, expect labelling and disclosure to become normal, and check the licence terms.
