YouTube Music is rolling out a new artificial intelligence label to help users identify songs created using AI. While it is not new for artists to use generative AI to create music, listeners may not always be able to discern whether a track was produced by AI. Starting today, YouTube Music will introduce the "AI-generated" label, which will soon be available in the main YouTube app. Music that includes AI-generated compositions or vocals will display the corresponding AI label on the YouTube Music player page.
Users can click on the label to learn more. YouTube states that it is utilizing its own detection tools and collaborating with music industry partners to identify music generated by AI.

The introduction of this new feature aims to enhance transparency regarding the sources of music and help users better understand the creative process behind it. As AI technology advances, more artists are beginning to utilize these tools to create music, which has sparked discussions about the ethics and copyright issues surrounding music creation. YouTube Music's initiative is not only a response to user demand but also a prediction of the future development of the music industry.
