• Why Spotify has no button to filter out AI music

Contesto

While rival streaming service Deezer now allows users to filter out music generated by artificial intelligence, Spotify has yet to offer a similar feature, raising questions about the platform’s stance on the growing presence of AI-created content in its catalog. The contrast emerged after Deezer announced an optional filter that lets listeners exclude tracks identified as AI-generated.

If Spotify were to adopt a filter, it might set a precedent for industry standards. Conversely, its inaction could encourage more AI-generated music to flood the platform, altering the competitive landscape. Deezer’s filter, while a notable first step, is not foolproof.
