How Spotify labels AI music
Spotify labels artist identities, not songs. An "AI Persona" badge means the artist disclosed that its public identity is an AI-generated photorealistic person; "Likely AI Persona" means Spotify reviewed the profile and decided so. The badge says nothing about how the music was made; separate AI credits in Song Credits come from artists via their distributor. Badges began rolling out from mid-September 2026 and are not yet visible everywhere.
The labels
-
“AI Persona”
The artist self-disclosed in Spotify for Artists that its public identity is AI-generated.
-
“Likely AI Persona”
Spotify reviewed the profile and determined its name and imagery represent an AI-generated identity. Artists can confirm or appeal.
-
“AI credits (Song Credits)”
Artist-supplied credits saying which parts (vocals, lyrics, production) used AI. Absence of a credit does not mean no AI was used.
Where you see it
- Look next to the artist name on the profile, in Now Playing, in Search (mobile) and on playlist track rows. support.spotify.com
- Open the artist's About page and check the "Artist Badges" section to see whether it says AI Persona or Likely AI Persona. support.spotify.com
- For a song, open Song Credits on mobile to see any AI credits. newsroom.spotify.com
Can you hide or block AI music on Spotify?
Not with a built-in setting.
- There is no switch to hide AI music. AI Persona artists are left out of editorial and personalised recommendations unless you follow them.
- Spotify says listeners will be able to report profiles they believe are AI Personas in the coming months.
Policy timeline
