Spotify pulls 50M+ low-quality AI or spam tracks from recommendations, adds AI Persona badge
What happened
Spotify says it removed more than 50 million tracks it judged low-quality AI-generated or spam content from user recommendations over the past year, and retuned its recommendation system to favor human artists. The platform also launched an "AI Persona" badge for artists that use an AI identity and do not represent a real person, and it does not recommend their music. Spotify does not yet require labels on all AI tracks; the removals described cover recommendations, not the platform's catalog.

Spotify称，过去一年已从用户推荐中移除超过50 million首被认定为低质AI生成内容或垃圾内容的歌曲，并调整推荐系统以突出人类艺人的音乐。平台推出了面向使用AI身份、并不代表真实人物的艺人的“AI Persona”徽章，且不推荐这些艺人的音乐，但尚未要求所有AI曲目添加标签。
