A coalition led by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI) is urging streaming platforms to clearly label songs that use generative AI. According to statements described by both outlets, the groups—representing music labels and artists—say listeners want transparency about whether and how AI tools were used in the creation or production of music they stream.
The Hollywood Reporter says the RIAA and IFPI CEOs issued a joint statement noting that fans want to understand both whether generative AI was involved and the extent or manner of its use. The Wall Street Journal adds that the effort is being backed by multiple music-industry organizations within a broader coalition and frames the push as a response to consumer demand for clearer information on streaming services.
The outlets describe the campaign as an initiative to require or encourage labeling practices across platforms, aiming to provide more consistent disclosures to listeners about AI usage in music content.
