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.
