Spotify digital music service has removed AI-generated songs from its platform. The world's most popular audio streaming subscription service said it pulled down thousands of song titles that were made via artificial intelligence.
Spotify said it has made this move to get rid of “fake streams” on its platform. Moreover, the company is taking steps to clamp down on bots that are posing as listeners, as this has been negatively affecting the music industry lately.
According to Financial Times, Spotify purged songs from Boomy, an AI music start-up. It has already taken down thousands of titles and now scaling up the policing of its platform after receiving an increasing number of fraud complaints across its streaming services.
The Stockholm, Sweden-headquartered firm confirmed the removal of songs from Boomy. Spotify’s action also comes after Lucian Grainge, a power broker in the music business, spent several months going around to talk about the rapid increase of AI-made songs on major platforms that include Spotify.
He has been trying to raise awareness that every day, about 100,000 new tracks are being distributed on streaming sites. Unfortunately, this is leading to the growing manipulation of the system.
Grainge is also the chairman and chief executive officer of Universal Music Group, and he informed investors last week that “the recent explosive development in generative AI will if left unchecked, both increase the flood of unwanted content on platforms and create rights issues with respect to existing copyright law.”
Universal’s chief digital officer, Michael Nash, also said, “We are always encouraged when we see our partners exercise vigilance around the monitoring or activity on their platforms.”
With that, Spotify is apparently doing something to stop the flawed system. The spokesperson of Spotify told FOX Business, “Artificial streaming is a longstanding, industry-wide issue that Spotify is working to stamp out across our service.”
