Hi $USER,
AI music generation tools are changing how music is created and distributed. As this technology evolves, Tidal is introducing platform standards to protect artists, their craft, and inform listeners. Here are the highlights of our new AI Policy:
- Tidal will identify and tag AI-generated music in our app. Listeners will see an “AI” badge next to music we detect as wholly AI-generated.
- Tidal will not tolerate AI-generated music that impersonates an artist or group, or that facilitates fraudulent activity. We’re implementing automatic tools to remove these releases immediately and on an ongoing basis.
- Tidal will not allow music that is 100% AI-generated to be monetized. No royalties will go to such releases, nor will AI-generated uploads be eligible for direct-to-fan sales.
- We will expand these policies to music that is substantially AI-generated when AI detection technology is sufficiently reliable to do so.
You’ll start seeing these changes from July 15. Check out the full policy here. To learn more, please visit our FAQ. For the music, The Tidal Team
Better than nothing - AI generated music gives me the ick. Wondering if folks will try to get around this by using “50% AI generated” tracks… I don’t want Tidal to feel lifeless like Spotify began to feel. I have no issue dropping the subscription in that case.
