Spotify to Add 'AI Persona' Badges on AI-Generated Artist Profiles

Spotify is a big app where people listen to music.

Some music is made by real people, and some is made with the help of artificial intelligence, which we call AI.

Sometimes an AI-made artist can look like a real human being, which made listeners confused about who actually made the music.

Spotify decided to add a special label, called an 'AI Persona' badge, to fix this.

The badge tells listeners, 'This artist is made by AI, not a real person.'

The badges will start appearing in the middle of September.

They will show up on the artist's picture, information page, in search results, and next to songs in playlists.

Artists can also tell Spotify themselves if they are AI, and Spotify will check profiles that seem to use AI-generated pictures.

Later, listeners will be able to report profiles they think are AI.

This helps people know exactly who or what made the music they enjoy.
