Spotify has announced that it will better label music generated by artificial intelligence in the future. The company, which is based in Sweden, informs that from mid-September 2026, corresponding profiles will be marked as "AI Persona."

Additionally, Spotify reports that recommendations related to such profiles will be excluded. This measure aims to inform users more clearly about the origin of the music and to avoid potential confusion.

This item was written by an AI system on the basis of the headlines and short teasers of the independently operating newsrooms named below. We disclose this under Art. 50(4), second subparagraph, of Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (AI Act). Before publication we check origin and verifiability — anything that appears in only one place is not published — as well as language, substance and legally sensitive content. No separate substantive review of each individual item by a natural person takes place; we therefore do not rely on the exemption in Art. 50(4), second subparagraph, of the AI Act. Editorial responsibility for this publication rests with the person named in the imprint (§ 18 Abs. 2 MStV). Please report errors to [email protected] — we will correct or remove the item.
