Apple Music will introduce visible labels for songs created using artificial intelligence later this year, making disclosures available to listeners. The change builds on Apple’s earlier “AI Transparency Tags,” which were introduced in March and are intended to indicate when content is materially generated with AI.
Apple’s announcements focus on new requirements for content providers. In communications to industry partners, Apple says record labels and distributors will be required to include AI Transparency Tags for any instance where AI is used to create a material portion of the content, including tracks primarily derived from generative AI services. Sources describe Apple adding a “Made With AI” style label visible in the app when such tagging is provided.
Outlets frame the update slightly differently: some emphasize the feature’s visibility to users, while others highlight that the tags are moving from optional disclosure toward mandatory provider tagging. Several reports also note the broader industry context, pointing to similar actions by other streaming services and ongoing efforts to improve transparency around AI music.
