Spotify, LinkedIn and others are trying to dig out of a digital sewage heap full of low-quality content made with artificial intelligence.

Music streaming service Spotify has announced it is introducing a feature that will enable listeners to see if an artist is AI-generated.

Spotify said on Tuesday it would begin adding "AI Persona" badges to some profiles from ​mid-September to give listeners more transparency about ‌whether the artist behind the music was a real person.

The new label, which will begin to be applied next month, is an effort by the streaming service to be more transparent about A.I.-generated music on its app.

"True artist-fan connection can only be built on a foundation of trust and authenticity," Spotify said Tuesday.

Spotify will begin labeling AI-generated artists with “AI Persona” profile tags and ban their music from its editorial and algorithmic recommendations, the company announced on Tuesday.

Investors interested in Internet - Software stocks are likely familiar with Digital Turbine (APPS) and Spotify (SPOT). But which of these two companies is the best option for those looking for undervalued stocks?

Spotify (NYSE:SPOT | SPOT Price Prediction) and Pinterest (NYSE:PINS) both reported Q2 2026 results on August 4, 2026, and both cleared estimates on the top and bottom line.

SPOT's Q2 earnings miss estimates as higher marketing, cloud and AI costs offset record margins, subscriber gains and stronger cash flow.

Spotify is prioritizing monetization, add-ons and automated ads while accepting slower MAU growth and keeping AI spending and margins under tight control.
