Qobuz cracks down on AI-generated tracks, advocating for human music creation and curation
Qobuz, the independent high-fidelity music streaming and download platform, has introduced a proprietary AI detection system to identify and tag tracks that are fully AI-generated. This initiative applies to both new releases and the platform’s existing catalog. According to Qobuz, users will be able to see tags marking AI-generated content across all Qobuz applications in the coming months.
Following the publication of its AI charter, Qobuz is reinforcing human artists' prominence in music discovery. The platform promises that all editorial selection and recommendations will remain 100% human-led, and dedicated anti-fraud tools prioritize authentic, artist-driven content. Qobuz pledges never to generate audio content for its catalog or replace human curation with artificial intelligence.
Building on its established anti-fraud stance, Qobuz continues to develop tools to detect fraudulent uploads, including cases of artist impersonation or artificial streaming activities. The platform reserves the right to remove or refuse content based on signals beyond AI detection alone, ensuring stronger protections for artists and listeners. Additionally, Qobuz affirms that customer data will not be used to train external AI models, providing further assurances of privacy.

I'll think about switching off Spotify at some point do to all their BS!
Finally, some good news.
censorship is great when it's something I don't like, amirite?
"Won't somebody PLEASE think of the AI slop?"
Oh FFS, it's a bit of a stretch to call it censorship when what's supposedly being censored isn't even being created by a human being.
"'Won't somebody PLEASE think of the AI slop?'" pretty sure we used to think of a certain skin tone as not human too. get on the right side of history, my guy.
"isn't even being created by a human being." this isn't about music made in a DAW it's abou..oh wait.🤭 way to be stuck in the 90's, grandpa. 🤡
Censorship is built in the core of centralized systems and services. If you want censorship resistant music platform you should looks somewhere else in the first place...
Way to be a total dumbass, there Matt.
Wow, what a fantastic and witty comeback, guck. Bet you're fun at parties. so far, only Darlene has a point. not a fantastic point, as one should hope to save all spaces from the claws of censorship, but at least it's a pragmatic point for the customer's immediate ease of use, and not just having a backwards thinking AI Derangement Syndrome (AIDS) crashout.
Who's got time for parties these days? We're all going to have to take on more work to afford the prices of computer hardware (which has already more than doubled), electricity, water etc, all thanks to the increasing nonsensical use of AI. So, pardon me if I don't get down on my knees and slurp up the slop with a smile on my face.
Wow, bringing r@cism into a discussion of AI...talk about "being fun at parties"...
Sorry to hear you think:
I'd rather be stuck in the 90's if yours is the modern way of thinking.
@Tarnish gets it. Thanks for saying exactly what I was thinking better than I did.
It's okay, you can enjoy all the slop you'd ever want on Spotify.
finally some news about getting rid of ai, not adding it into the product and enshittifying and maximasing ram usage. good for qobuz
