AI credits on Spotify

Overview

Spotify supports AI credits that allow a select group of providers in beta to send contribution-level disclosures for AI-generated content. AI credits indicate when a specific role on a track was generated using AI.

What you can send

Providers who are part of the beta can send AI credits for any role that was fully AI-generated.

Examples:

• Lyricist

• Vocalist

• Instrumentalist

• Producer

AI credits apply at the contributor + role level, not the track level.

Artist messaging

If you collect AI credits from artists, we recommend you:

• Use a neutral and supportive tone

• Emphasize transparency to listeners

• AI disclosure is currently optional. We’re actively developing our approach to AI-generated music, so this may change over time.

Delivery guidance

We recommend:

• Role-level indicators (e.g. “This contribution was generated using AI”)

• No open text fields

• Support for multiple contributors per role where needed

Where AI credits appear

AI credits appear to listeners on mobile only while in beta:

• Song Credits

• The Now Playing view

They don’t appear on artist profiles or as track-level labels.

Backfill

It is not required to update existing catalog.

AI credits can be included in:

• New releases

• Redeliveries

Scope (beta)

At launch, AI credits:

• Apply to audio only

• Don’t include artwork or video

• Are limited to credits surfaces
