YouTube Music starts labeling songs made primarily with generative AI

YouTube Music began labeling songs created "primarily using generative AI" on Oct. 14, such as tracks where a generative model produced both composition and vocals. The label shows on the player page and opens a menu with more detail. YouTube says it uses music-partner disclosures plus its own detection tools. It plans to extend labels to the main YouTube app, with no date given.
