YouTube sticks new labels on AI-generated songs
TL;DR
YouTube is adding a "Made with AI" label to tracks that were "altered or fully generated" using AI, with a similar approach to its existing process for applying AI labels to videos. It doesn't sound like this will apply to any and all use of AI tools in making music, but according to YouTube, it includes things like "using a generative model to create the composition and vocals.
Nauti's Take
Small teams should first verify which production steps YouTube treats as label-worthy. Document composition, vocals, and editing separately during upload, and keep evidence of the human contribution and tools used for cases where YouTube relies on signals beyond your disclosure.
