Artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed various industries, including music, in recent years. However, AI-generated content has sparked concerns about copyright, authenticity, and artistic integrity. Streaming stores have established guidelines prohibiting AI-created content for several reasons. Below, we explain these reasons and how they impact MusicDigi artists.
Copyright and Intellectual Property
Streaming stores prohibit AI-generated content to avoid potential litigation and copyright conflicts, ensuring that all published works have clear intellectual property ownership.
Quality and Originality
AI-generated content may not meet the quality standards expected by users, potentially degrading the user experience and making it harder to promote and discover legitimate human artists. Streaming stores aim to maintain a library of high-quality and original content, and excluding AI-generated content helps achieve this goal.
Streaming Store Regulations
Here are some specific guidelines from major streaming stores regarding AI-generated content:
- Spotify: Prohibits AI-generated content due to concerns about authenticity and quality.
- Apple Music: Accepts only content created and performed by humans to ensure clear copyright ownership for each piece of music.
- Deezer: Encourages human musical creation and bans machine-generated content to preserve artistic integrity.
Understanding these policies is crucial to ensuring that your music complies with streaming store guidelines. Any AI-generated content detected on your account will be immediately rejected.
We hope this guide helps you understand the reasons behind these policies and how they affect your music distribution process.
