Spotify has taken an aggressive stance against AI-generated music spam, removing more than 50 million low-quality and spam AI tracks from its recommendation system over the past year and an additional 75 million spam songs from the platform overall. The company plans to expand its Artist Profile Protection tool to all musicians by year-end. This effort contrasts with YouTube Music's approach of adding transparency labels to AI-generated content.

Key points

  • Removed 50 million AI spam tracks from recommendations in the past year
  • Removed 75 million spam songs from the platform entirely
  • Artist Profile Protection tool launching platform-wide by year-end
  • Stricter approach than competitors like YouTube Music
