While creators can begin self-disclosing these profiles immediately, the streaming service will also deploy its own detection methods to verify artist identities.
The move aims to prioritize human creators as artificial intelligence content increasingly saturates digital music services.
According to Spotify, listeners have expressed frustration when discovering that seemingly human artists are actually AI-generated.
Consequently, music from flagged personas will be excluded by default from editorial playlists and the personalized recommendation algorithms that drive the majority of user discovery.
This policy change arrives as competitors like Deezer report that AI-generated tracks now account for half of all daily song uploads.
To enforce these labels, Spotify will use a combination of human moderators and automated tools to identify profiles that feature photorealistic AI-generated images or names.
The company will initially prioritize the review of accounts that meet specific audience thresholds to ensure the most popular content is accurately categorized.
These badges specifically address the artist's public persona and branding rather than the specific technical tools used to compose or produce the audio itself.
