Overview

• Spotify implemented an anti-impersonation policy that permits AI vocal imitation only when the imitated artist has explicitly authorized it.
• An AI-driven music spam filter will roll out this autumn to identify abusive upload tactics, tag offenders and stop recommending their tracks, with a gradual deployment to limit false positives.
• Spotify will support DDEX’s industry standard for AI-use credits and begin showing that information in the app as labels and distributors submit the metadata.
• The company says responsible use of AI will not be punished or change content prioritization or promotion on the platform.
• Spotify reports removing more than 75 million spam tracks in the past year and says it is investing more and working with major distributors to prevent fraudulent uploads and expand pre-release mismatch reporting.
