Platforms Ban AI‑Made Music

Updated: 2026.01.14 14D ago 1 sources
A growing class of music platforms will adopt explicit bans or strict provenance requirements for works created largely by generative AI, both to protect human creators and to avoid impersonation/rights disputes. Such policies will rapidly reshape discovery, monetization, and the legality of using platform‑uploaded audio as training data. — If platforms standardize bans or provenance mandates, it will force new legal tests on impersonation, change how record labels and indie artists monetize work, and make platform governance a central front in AI‑copyright politics.
