Today, Apple introduced new metadata tags that will let record labels and distributors disclose when artificial intelligence was used in the creation of music, artwork, and more. Here are the details.
Tags will be required ‘when delivering new content to Apple Music in the future’
According to an email distributed to Apple Music partners earlier today, the company will now require AI transparency tags for new content delivered to the platform.
From the email:
Apple says that the new requirements will apply when “a material portion of the content has been created using AI,” and that multiple tags can be applied to the same content.
Interestingly, Apple will also leave it to the discretion of each partner “to determine what qualifies as AI content,” much like how partners already handle metadata such as genres and credits.
The company says that the new tags are a first step to “bring greater transparency about AI-generated content,” as the industry adjusts to the new creative possibilities afforded by generative technology.
Alongside today’s announcement, Apple also updated the Apple Music Package Specification material, and more details can be found here.
Apple Music requires an active subscription. You can sign up for $10.99 per month, with 1 month free.
