Tidal has unveiled its new approach to music created by artificial intelligence, emphasizing a commitment to safeguarding artists' rights. Rather than instituting a complete ban on AI-generated tracks, the platform will begin labeling songs identified as entirely created by AI with a specific icon starting July 15. However, effective immediately, these tracks will not generate any royalties. Tidal's announcement highlights its focus on ensuring that earnings are allocated solely to music that is authentically composed, written, and performed by human artists. The company stated, 'We will not knowingly distribute royalties for music recognized as fully AI-generated.' While the specific methods for identifying such tracks have not been disclosed, Tidal aims to maintain transparency with its listeners and uphold the integrity of original artistic work.
