The labels appear on track pages, with an expansion to the main YouTube app planned. Partners can identify whether generative AI was used fully, partly or not at all.
YouTube Music began rolling out labels for songs made with generative artificial intelligence on Oct. 14, giving listeners information about AI use and planning to extend the labels to the main YouTube app.
The labels appear on track pages, where listeners can tap for more information. YouTube plans to identify tracks using disclosures from music partners and its own detection tools.
Partners can indicate whether a track was made fully, partly or not at all with generative AI through delivery metadata or YouTube Studio. If a partner does not provide a designation, YouTube may use other signals to classify the music.
YouTube’s guidance counts AI-generated musical layers and AI-assisted songwriting as partial AI use. Routine pitch correction and AI mastering do not count.
The expansion to the main YouTube app is planned, but no timing or total number of tracks expected to receive labels has been announced.
