Spotify says it has removed more than 50 million songs considered AI-generated slop or spam from user recommendations over the past year. That’s according to an announcement on Tuesday, which says Spotify has also made changes to its recommendation system to highlight more music made by human artists.
“Our editors hold the same standard and don’t program content identified as slop or spam,” Spotify says. “Since we made these changes, we’ve seen a marked decrease in listener concerns about this content showing up in recommendations.”
Though Spotify has stopped short of mandating labels on all AI tracks, it launched an “AI Persona” badge for artists that use an AI identity and don’t represent a real person. It also won’t recommend music from AI personas. Other music streaming platforms are taking a tougher stance on AI music, with YouTube Music putting labels on AI songs, Deezer giving users an option to filter out AI slop, and Bandcamp banning AI music entirely.
