YouTube announced that it will expand the labeling mechanism for AI-generated content. Initially, it will add labels to songs primarily created by generative AI in YouTube Music, with plans to later extend this mechanism to the main app. This mechanism combines YouTube's own detection tools with analysis results from music partners to identify AI-generated content, although the specific threshold for the proportion of AI-generated content that triggers labeling has not yet been clarified. This move aims to enhance transparency in music content in response to the surge of AI-generated songs. Currently, several streaming platforms have introduced relevant AI music identification or labeling measures, and record industry organizations are also promoting the establishment of a two-tier AI labeling system to safeguard the rights of creators and the right to information for listeners.
