Spotify Is Fighting Back Against AI Music Impersonation
-

Spotify is testing a new feature that lets artists approve or reject songs before they appear on their profiles. With AI-generated music flooding platforms and even impersonating real artists, this move gives creators more control over their identity and catalog.
The feature comes at a critical time, as mislabeled tracks and fake releases can impact stats, recommendations, and fan trust. By putting approval power in artists’ hands, Spotify is trying to protect authenticity in an era where creating music is easier than ever.
