The platform will deploy automatic detection tools, display identification icons for AI-generated tracks, and block or remove content that impersonates real artists. Royalties will only go to human-created works.","whyItMatters":"Tidal becomes the first major streaming service to explicitly deny royalties to AI-generated music while still allowing its distribution, setting a precedent for how platforms balance technological adoption with artist compensation.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eTidal will not pay royalties for fully AI-generated music under a new policy taking effect in mid-July 2026. The streaming service announced it will deploy automatic detection tools to identify tracks that impersonate artists, bands, or groups. Uploading AI-made music remains allowed, but it will be treated differently from human-created works. Tidal said listeners have the right to know whether they are hearing AI-generated content and plans to display identification icons on such tracks. The policy also requires music distributors to declare AI-generated content before upload. Content determined to be 100% AI-generated will show an icon, and as detection technology improves, the scope may expand to largely AI-generated works. Tidal stated it will block or remove AI-generated music associated with fraudulent activity, including impersonation, mass uploads, and abnormal streaming. Deezer, another streaming service active on this issue, recently launched a tool to scan playlists across multiple platforms for AI-generated music.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Tidal's policy draws a line between human and machine creation at the royalty level.
