Apple Music will soon inform you about which songs were created using AI.

      Apple Music aims to provide clarity on the creators behind tracks.

      If you’ve ever been curious about whether that surprisingly generic song dominating your playlist was created by a human or an AI, Apple Music is set to simplify that distinction. An email sent to industry partners, which was initially reported by The Hollywood Reporter, indicates that Apple Music plans to implement AI labels later this year. While no specific date has been confirmed, the initiative is officially underway.

      What will these labels entail?

      In March, Apple Music quietly launched transparency tags that allowed record labels and distributors to identify content that was "materially generated using AI." The upcoming labels will ensure this information is accessible to listeners. Moving forward, content providers will be required to apply these tags whenever AI significantly contributes to the creation of a track, including songs entirely produced by AI platforms.

      Why is Apple taking this step now?

      Recently, the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) and IFPI (International Federation of the Phonographic Industry) called on streaming services to label AI-generated content similarly to explicit tracks, with clear and prominent labels.

      Earlier this month, Spotify preempted Apple by announcing that it would label AI artist profiles while excluding them from editorial and algorithmic recommendations.

      Apple Music is now following this trend. Earlier this year, the company increased its penalty fees for streaming fraud, and Apple Music head Oliver Schusser cited the growing prevalence of AI content as a factor in this decision.

      Whether these labels will indeed reduce fraud or manipulation is yet to be determined, as Apple has not outlined how it will enforce these new regulations. Nevertheless, with two leading music streaming platforms aligning on this issue, transparency regarding AI in music may finally be keeping pace with the rapid advancements in technology.

      Apple’s upcoming Beats headphones have been leaked, revealing details about their accompanying product.

      A short while after leaks regarding camera-equipped AirPods Pro came to light, images of Apple’s next Beats headphones have surfaced online. Consumers in the UK and US can now see pricing and available colors due to a leak across several retailers this week (via Macworld). What intrigues me most isn’t the headphones but their design and the Apple product they might complement so seamlessly.

Although CMF canceled plans for another low-cost smartphone this year due to rising component costs from the ongoing memory crisis, the Nothing sub-brand managed to reduce prices elsewhere. The Buds Neo launch in India for ₹1,999 (~$21), while Apple still retails its USB-C EarPods for $19 in the U.S. CMF’s completely wireless earbuds are competitively priced and include features like active noise cancellation, spatial audio, app controls, and a charging case.
