According to an email seen by 9to5Mac, Apple Music is introducing Transparency Tags for Apple Music.

The new Transparency Tags will include four tag types that correspond to the main creative elements of digital music content:

  • Artwork: AI was used to generate a material portion of the artwork for an album. This applies to both static and motion graphic artwork.
  • Track: AI was used to generate a material portion of a sound recording. This tag is available at the track level only.
  • Composition: AI was used to generate a material portion of any music composition embodied in a track. Use this tag when AI generated a material portion of the lyrics, or other components of a composition.
  • Music Video: AI was used to generate a material portion of the visual elements. This applies to music videos bundled with albums and standalone videos.

Artists will be responsible for determining how much a category applies to their music, but that if "a material portion of the content has been created using AI," they must disclose this for listeners. At least 1, up to 4 of the tags can apply to a song or album and will be displayed to listeners.

Keep in mind this only applies to new music, not existing
