Why Spotify has no button to filter out AI music
A Leipzig-based software developer created a tool to filter out AI-generated music from Spotify, as the platform lacks a feature to label or block such content. Spotify has launched a test feature to show how artists use AI in their music, but it is voluntary and not comprehensive.
A software developer from Leipzig created a tool to automatically label and block AI-generated music from his Spotify playlists. The tool, called Spotify AI Blocker, filters out over 4,700 suspected AI artists and is available on code-sharing websites. Spotify has not implemented a feature to label or filter AI-generated music, despite user concerns. In April, Spotify launched a test feature to show how artists use AI in their music, but it is voluntary and based on artist disclosure. The platform is trying to balance its approach to AI-generated music, as it becomes increasingly prevalent and difficult to detect. Tens of thousands of AI-generated tracks are uploaded to streaming platforms daily, potentially diluting revenue pools for human artists.
