It’s usually concerning when a streaming service removes many titles. This often happens because of financial decisions. However, that’s not why Spotify is deleting content. The streaming service has announced it’s removing 75 million songs because they were not created by real people. Spotify is getting rid of AI-generated “slop” and, more importantly, is taking steps to stop even more of it from reaching listeners. This is a proactive move to ensure quality content.
I was really surprised to learn that Spotify has removed a massive 75 million tracks over the past year! They explained in a statement that while technology has *always* influenced music, this huge cleanup is a direct result of the rise of generative AI. Basically, a ton of low-quality, unwanted songs were flooding the platform, and Spotify is taking action. Here’s what they shared about the tracks they’ve been removing and the reasons behind it: It’s a big move, and I think it shows they’re committed to quality. I’m curious to see how this impacts the music landscape.
The speed of progress in generative AI has been rapid and, for many creatives, even concerning. When used well, AI offers exciting new possibilities for artists to make music and for fans to find it. However, AI can also be misused by those with harmful intentions and by content creators focused on quantity over quality. This can lead to misleading or deceptive content, flooding the market with low-effort work, and hindering the careers of genuine artists. This type of damaging AI content diminishes the listening experience and frequently tries to redirect royalty payments to unethical parties.
It’s a bit ironic that Spotify is expressing concern about artist compensation, but let’s highlight the positive developments. The company is now taking measures to prevent AI-generated songs from appearing on its platform. Spotify says it’s actively safeguarding artists and producers from the negative impacts of generative AI in three key ways.
- Improved enforcement of impersonation violations.
- A new spam filtering system
- AI disclosures for music with industry-standard credits
That’s music to our ears. Assuming an actual human wrote this press release.
