YouTube has added new labels to AI-generated songs.
YouTube is rolling out a Made with AI label for songs altered or fully generated by AI, using partner disclosures and other signals if not reported.
Key Takeaways
- YouTube has introduced a “Made with AI” label for songs that are altered or fully generated using AI.
- The label targets generative AI uses such as AI-created compositions and vocals, not every possible AI tool use.
- Music partners are expected to disclose generative AI use when uploading tracks.
- If partners do not disclose AI use, YouTube may rely on other signals to identify AI-generated songs.
- The rollout is beginning now, and the label’s full scope may become clearer as YouTube applies disclosures and signals.

YouTube is adding a YouTube AI music label, “Made with AI,” to tracks altered or fully generated using AI. The rollout begins today on YouTube.
Background: Existing AI Labeling
YouTube already has a process for applying AI labels to videos, and the music label follows a similar approach. The description does not suggest every AI tool use will be labeled; it points to cases such as using a generative model to create the composition and vocals.
Development: Disclosure Rules
YouTube's rules for music partners who upload songs explain how to disclose generative AI use. The stated scope includes tracks altered or fully generated using AI, rather than any and all AI tool use.
Latest: Signals Without Disclosure
If no disclosure is made, YouTube says it may use other signals to decide whether a song is AI-generated. That means YouTube may act on signals even when partners do not report.
Current stage: Early rollout
The rollout begins today, and the label's scope will become clearer as disclosures and signals are applied.
