Deezer is extending its AI music detection technology beyond its own service by scanning playlists on other streaming platforms. The company was among the first major streamers to label AI-generated music and previously offered its tech to rivals. Adoption appears limited so far, with Qobuz building its own detector while Apple and Spotify remain key industry players to watch.
YouTube will start applying AI labels automatically when its systems detect significant photorealistic AI use, reducing reliance on creator self-disclosure. Labels will become more prominent on long-form videos and Shorts. However, animated, unrealistic, or lightly AI-assisted videos may still show less visible disclosure or avoid obvious labeling.
YouTube is moving beyond relying only on creators to disclose AI-generated content. The platform will now automatically label videos that use significant photorealistic AI. It is also making AI labels more prominent, signaling a stronger push for transparency around realistic AI-generated or AI-altered videos.
