Spotify Tests Artist Profile Protection to Block AI Tracks From Being Attributed to Real Artists

Spotify is testing a new feature that lets artists approve releases before they go live on their profiles, targeting AI-generated music that is falsely attributed to real musicians. The beta feature addresses a growing problem on streaming platforms where AI-generated tracks are uploaded under established artist names without their knowledge or consent. Spotify has faced pressure from labels and artists to implement stronger verification as AI music generation tools become widely accessible.
