A coalition of music industry and artist organizations has introduced labels for works that use artificial intelligence (AI) in sound recordings. These labels are designed as simple icons to distinguish between works that are "produced by AI" and "AI-assisted." The aim is for adoption by digital music services, distributors, and other relevant parties. The labeling process will be implemented on a voluntary basis.

This labeling initiative has emerged alongside the increasing use of AI in the music industry. While artificial intelligence offers new possibilities in music production, it also raises discussions about issues such as the originality of works and the contribution of artists. Therefore, the use of labels aims to provide listeners and music professionals with more information about how works are created.

Behind the labeling system are significant groups such as the Recording Industry Association of America, IFPI, the Grammy Awards, SAG-AFTRA, and the Human Artistry Campaign. These organizations aim to enhance transparency regarding the use of AI in music and to protect the rights of artists. With the rise of AI-assisted music works, the prevalence of such labels is expected to increase in the future.
