I saw this linked elsewhere. The key points in my opinion are:

  • AI generated music will be tagged and demonitized
  • they will start taking down AI songs uploaded to hijacked artist profiles

Relevant sections:

Tidal defines AI-generated music as music that is wholly or substantially generated by generative artificial intelligence. […]

Tidal will accept AI-generated music. Artists should have the freedom to create with AI tools, and listeners should have the autonomy to choose the type of content they consume […]

Tidal will identify and tag AI-generated music. Listeners should know whether content they are listening to is AI-generated. To start, listeners will see an icon next to content we identify as 100% AI-generated. This feature will start appearing for listeners in mid-July. As AI-detection methods become more reliable, we will expand this tag to content that is substantially AI-generated. But the responsibility to identify and tag AI-generated content should not rest with Tidal alone. We expect — and will begin to enforce — that content distributors identify AI-generated content before it reaches our platform.

[…] We will not tolerate AI-generated music that exploits an individual’s or group’s music, name or likeness, deceives listeners, or diminishes the quality of our service. Effective mid-July, AI-generated music associated with fraudulent activity will be blocked or removed from our platform. Fraudulent activity includes (but is not necessarily limited to) AI-generated music that aims to deceive listeners, interfere with authentic artists and their audience, or involves high-volume uploads or unusual streaming activity. […]

Starting today, AI-generated music will not be monetizable. We are only in the beginning of the era of AI-generated music. We acknowledge the ongoing debate regarding whether certain AI-generated music (e.g. AI-generated music developed from fairly and properly licensed models) should be entitled to earn royalties. This debate will continue as the […]

    “artists” and “create” do a lot of heavy lifting there. If you are prompting a generative model to make something for you, then you aren’t an artist or writer or programmer and you didn’t create anything.

      IMO demonitizing the AI music is the important part. It lets them skip the debate around the AI while removing the incentive for the slop uploads

      They didn’t specifically say if they will let users have a toggle to hide it all, that’s one of my concerns with this
