IFPI, RIAA, A2IM (American Association of Independent Music), WIN (Worldwide Independent Network), IMPALA, The Grammys, SAG-AFTRA and Human Artistry Campaign have joined together to create a new system for tagging fully AI-generated and partially AI-generated songs on streaming services. Much like the explicit label on records with inappropriate language and content, these AI tags are expected to work similarly.
Two tags will be available, one labeled “AI-generated,” which notes a song that includes AI in the lead vocals, key instrumentals or entirely created via a prompt, and one labeled “AI-assisted,” which notes songs that include AI in some elements, with humans still performing lead vocals and instruments.
“Fans want to know whether and how generative AI has been used in the music to which they listen,” Vikki Oakley, CEO of IFPI, and Mitch Glazier, chairman and CEO of RIAA, said in a joint statement. “Given how important human artistry and authenticity is to music lovers all over the world, these labels will provide an immediately understandable and easily scalable approach to transparency. We acknowledge the many ways AI is being used creatively, so we expect to offer fans additional information as adoption of generative AI labeling grows and technology evolves.”

“The independent community knows the magic of music lives in an authentic connection between artists and fans,” Ian Harrison, CEO of A2IM, said in a statement. “Technology will keep offering new ways to make and enjoy music, but that bond still runs on trust. As questions of integrity, authenticity and provenance grow, that trust depends on people knowing what’s real. That’s why A2IM supports the whole industry coming together behind a clear, shared standard for labeling AI.”
According to a recent report from French streaming service Deezer, 44% of all daily uploads are now fully AI-generated, stoking fear in the music industry establishment that these AI songs will — and already are — eating away at the royalty pool originally designed for human artists and rights holders. In the major music companies lawsuit against AI companies Suno and Udio, the trio noted this fear, saying these AI companies could “saturate the market with machine-generated content that will directly compete with, cheapen and ultimately drown out the genuine sound recordings on which [the services were] built.”
The idea of labeling, tagging or crediting AI use in music has become a popular method of responding to user complaints about the emerging technology over the last year. In 2025, French streaming service Deezer adopted a system for automatically tagging fully AI-generated recordings on their platform which were flagged by its proprietary AI detection model. Then, Spotify and Apple Music followed in 2026 by creating their own systems for distributors and labels to voluntarily disclose and credit AI use in a recording, whether that’s just in the vocals or the drums — or the whole song altogether.
In June, Tidal adopted its own policy about AI tagging by requiring distributors to identify AI-generated songs before uploading its site. “The responsibility to identify and tag AI-generated content should not rest with Tidal alone,” a statement from Tidal reads. “We expect — and will begin to enforce — that content distributors identify AI-generated content before it reaches our platform.”
It’s unclear who should take responsibility for AI-generated music online between streaming services, labels, distributors and music creators themselves. In a spring episode of On the Record, Billboard’s music business podcast, Apple Music boss Oliver Schusser expressed a similar position to Tidal’s, saying that “every label in the world is delivering AI, [even if] they might not know about it. They themselves also need to develop tools to understand [the scope of AI use]… We have a bunch of other things we’re going to do over the course of the near future, but I really need the content providers and the labels to take responsibility.”
