Why Does Content Created Using Artificial Intelligence Go Against the Guidelines of Streaming Stores?

In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has revolutionized multiple industries, including music. However, AI-generated content has raised concerns and debates about copyright, authenticity, and artistic integrity. In the context of music distribution, streaming stores have established specific guidelines that prohibit the publication of content created by artificial intelligence. Below, we explain why these rules are in place and how they affect Indiefy artists.

Copyright and Intellectual Property

Streaming stores avoid AI-generated content to prevent potential litigation and copyright conflicts, ensuring that all published works have clearly defined intellectual property ownership.

Issues of Quality and Originality

AI-generated content might not meet the quality standards expected by users. This could affect the user experience and make it harder to promote and discover legitimate human artists. Streaming stores aim to maintain a library of content that stands out for its quality and originality, and excluding AI-generated content is a way to achieve this.

Streaming Store Regulations

Here are some of the specific guidelines of major streaming stores regarding AI-generated content:

- Spotify: Prohibits AI-generated content due to concerns about authenticity and quality.
- Apple Music: Only accepts content created and performed by humans to ensure that each musical piece has a clearly defined copyright owner.
- Deezer: Encourages human musical creation and bans machine-generated content to preserve artistic integrity.
