Petition to Spotify: Label and Filter AI-Produced Music

To the Spotify Team,

We, the undersigned, demand that all AI-generated music on Spotify be clearly labeled and that users have the ability to filter it out if they choose. It is unacceptable that a substantial portion of the music on Spotify is now AI-generated without clear transparency. For example, a recent report shows that around one third of top-listed tracks are AI-produced.

In addition, a global economic study warns that up to 25 percent of human creators’ income could be lost by 2028 as AI-generated content captures an increasing share of streaming revenues. This highlights that the issue is not only about transparency, but also about long-term quality, sustainability, and fairness in the music ecosystem.

Users must have the right to know what they are listening to and to control their listening experience. We urge Spotify to implement these changes to uphold high quality and a positive user experience.
