Tidal is moving to clamp down on AI-generated music, introducing new rules that will label synthetic tracks and block royalties from music it identifies as wholly created by AI.<\/p>\n
The move is significant for the streaming platform, which has long pitched itself at audiophiles and music purists through its focus on high-fidelity audio and artist-first positioning.<\/p>\n
From July 15, Tidal listeners will begin seeing an \u2018AI\u2019 badge next to music the company detects as 100% AI-generated.<\/p>\n
The platform said it will also use automatic tools to remove AI-generated releases that impersonate artists or groups, deceive listeners or are linked to fraudulent activity.<\/p>\n
Tidal said AI-generated music will not be banned outright, arguing that artists should still be free to experiment with AI tools. But it said fully AI-generated tracks will not be monetised, meaning no royalties will be paid and the content will not be eligible for direct-to-fan sales.<\/p>\n

\u201cTidal\u2019s priority is ensuring royalties go to original works directly produced, written, and performed by people,\u201d the company said in its new AI policy.<\/p>\n
The platform said the rules also apply to Tidal Upload, its service for independent artists. If uploaded music is found to be wholly AI-generated, it will be tagged and blocked from monetisation.<\/p>\n
Tidal said it plans to expand its labelling system to music that is \u201csubstantially\u201d AI-generated once detection technology becomes more reliable.<\/p>\n
The policy comes as streaming services face growing pressure over AI music flooding catalogues, fake artist profiles, voice cloning and low-quality uploads designed to game royalty systems.<\/p>\n
The move follows similar industry efforts such as Spotify\u2019s new verified artist badge<\/a>, Deezer\u2019s claim that AI-generated tracks now make up 44% of daily uploads<\/a>, and Sony\u2019s work on technology designed to trace AI-generated music back to original artists<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.channelnews.com.au \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Tidal is moving to clamp down on AI-generated music, introducing new rules that will label synthetic tracks and block royalties from music it identifies as wholly created by AI.
