Apple is asking artists and record labels on its music‑streaming platform to voluntarily label songs that were made using AI. The new Transparency Tags metadata system for Apple Music was announced in a newsletter to industry partners, according to Music Business Worldwide.

Transparency Tags

The system covers four categories:

Track tag

Applied when a material portion of a sound recording has been generated by AI tools.

Composition tag

Covers AI‑generated compositional elements such as song lyrics or other musical structures.

Artwork tag

Used for static or moving graphics that were created with AI.

Music‑video tag

Designates videos whose visual content was produced using AI.
