- YouTube Music begins labeling songs made primarily with generative AI
YouTube said on Oct. 14 that YouTube Music now shows an “AI” label on tracks “created primarily using generative AI,” including AI-generated composition, arrangement and vocals; tapping the label opens a panel explaining how AI was used. According to TechRepublic, Ars Technica and others, identification combines three tiers of partner disclosure (fully gen AI, partly gen AI, no gen AI) with YouTube's own detection tools, which may use SynthID watermarking and C2PA metadata, and undisclosed tracks can still be flagged automatically. YouTube says the label will expand to the main YouTube app; unlike Deezer and TIDAL, which let listeners filter AI music, YouTube's approach centers on disclosure and does not by itself affect a track's monetization eligibility.
The Verge AI · 🔥 0 - Users say Gemini as Google Assistant is 'a disaster'
Google last month completed its migration by removing Google Assistant from all mobile devices and accounts, leaving Gemini as the default assistant. In a Reddit thread titled “Gemini as the Google Assistant is a disaster,” users report that Gemini is less reliable at everyday tasks such as making calls, setting timers and alarms, and navigating to a contact's saved address via Android Auto and Google Maps, and that it often responds with lengthy explanations instead of just acting. Some say disabling Gemini doesn't stop it from reappearing, while others can no longer find an option to switch back; these are individual user anecdotes, and the thread does not establish that every device or account behaves the same way.
Android Authority · 🔥 0 - AI music streaming fraudster gets 18 months, must forfeit $8M
The US Department of Justice said Michael Smith of Cornelius, North Carolina, was sentenced to 18 months in federal prison and ordered to forfeit $8,091,843.64 for using AI-generated songs and automated bot accounts to fraudulently collect streaming royalties. Prosecutors said he and co-conspirators uploaded hundreds of thousands of AI-made tracks between 2017 and 2024, using fake emails, fraudulently obtained debit cards, VPNs and playback software to generate billions of plays on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music and YouTube Music. The DOJ called it its first prosecution of AI-assisted music streaming fraud; the court noted that in April 2023 his tracks drew 80.9 million YouTube Music family-plan streams, versus 9.3 million for Taylor Swift's entire catalog that month.
