In short:

Spotify is making it easier for listeners to figure out if the music they are listening to is human-made or produced using generative AI.

While the audio streaming service says it will not get in the way of artists and producers using AI, it's committed to removing "AI slop" from the platform.

What's next?

Musicians are being encouraged to be transparent by using a new beta feature on the app that tells listeners if and how they have used AI in their music.
