YouTube adds Made with AI labels to AI-generated songs

What happened

YouTube is rolling out a “Made with AI” label for tracks created primarily with generative AI, starting today in YouTube Music and expanding to the main YouTube app later. Listeners can tap the label on the player page for more information. YouTube says it uses disclosures from music partners and its own detection tools to identify tracks, including those with AI-generated compositions and vocals.

The story so far

YouTube has begun rolling out “Made with AI” labels in the YouTube Music app and website for songs created entirely or significantly altered with AI, with expansion to the main YouTube app planned later. The labels appear on the player page, where listeners can tap them for more information about AI’s role in a track, including its composition and vocals. YouTube says it identifies tracks through music partners’ disclosures and its own detection tools. Publishers can optionally classify uploads as Fully Gen AI, Partly Gen AI, or No Gen AI; pitch correction such as Auto-Tune falls under No Gen AI. The labeling therefore does not cover every use of AI tools in music production. YouTube says AI involvement alone does not make a track ineligible for monetization.
