A coalition of music industry and artists’ organizations introduced voluntary labels for sound recordings that use generative AI, Deadline reported. The icons distinguish between works labeled “AI-generated,” where AI supplies the entirety or primary portion such as lead vocal or key instrumental performance, and those labeled “ai-assisted,” created substantially by humans who performed the lead vocal and primary instruments while AI supplied some expressive elements.
The Recording Industry Association of America, IFPI, the Grammys, SAG-AFTRA, the Human Artistry Campaign, the American Association of Independent Music, the Worldwide Independent Network and IMPALA support the system.
The “AI-Generated” label shows white capitalized letters “AI” on a black background. The labels do not yet cover AI use in lyrics, composition, music videos or cover art.
Vikki Oakley, IFPI CEO, and Mitch Glazier, RIAA chairman and CEO, said in a joint statement: “Fans want to know whether and how generative AI has been used in the music to which they listen.
