The American music streaming service Tidal has tightened its rules regarding AI-generated music.
The service will completely stop paying royalties for songs that have been made entirely with artificial intelligence.
AI-generated songs can still be added to Tidal and will not be removed, but their creators will no longer be paid.
However, it is good to note that only 100% AI-generated songs fall into this category. This means that even with a small human contribution, songs will continue to be eligible for royalties from Tidal.
At the same time, completely 100% AI-generated songs will henceforth be clearly marked with an AI label on Tidal. The identification is based on recognition algorithms, so music creators will likely have the opportunity to appeal songs incorrectly marked as AI-generated.
Moving forward, Tidal hopes that as its algorithm develops, it could implement a similar practice for songs that are estimated to be "significantly" AI-generated.
The practice is stricter than that of the French service Deezer, which actively removes AI-generated songs from its recommendation lists and search results.
