Is AI-generated music allowed on Tidal?
Tidal allows AI-generated music on the platform, provided it complies with our AI Policy, Terms and Conditions of Use, Content Guidelines, and other applicable requirements.
What does Tidal consider AI-generated music?
Tidal defines AI-generated music as music that is wholly generated using generative artificial intelligence.
Due to limitations in AI-detection technology, and to avoid false positives, we will only be taking action with respect to wholly AI-generated content. As the reliability of AI-detection technology improves, we will expand actions to content that is substantially AI-generated.
Does Tidal label AI-generated music?
Beginning July 15, 2026, Tidal will label music that it determines is wholly AI-generated. This will help provide transparency so listeners understand what kind of content they are listening to.
Can AI-generated music earn royalties on Tidal?
Music that Tidal identifies as wholly AI-generated is not eligible for royalty attribution.
Why didn't I receive royalties for my track?
Beginning July 15, 2026, if Tidal identifies a track as wholly AI-generated, it is not eligible for royalty attribution under Tidal's current AI Policy.
What if my music was incorrectly identified as AI-generated?
If you believe your content was incorrectly identified as AI-generated, please contact Tidal Support. We may review additional information about the creation process as part of our evaluation.
Can Tidal remove AI-generated music?
Yes. Tidal may block or remove AI-generated music that violates our policies or is associated with fraudulent activity, including content that deceives listeners, exploits an individual's or group's name or likeness, interferes with authentic artists and their audiences, or otherwise undermines the integrity of our platform.
What does Tidal consider fraudulent AI-generated music?
Fraudulent activity may include AI-generated music that is intended to mislead listeners, impersonate artists, interfere with authentic artists and their audiences, or is associated with unusual upload or streaming activity.
Tidal reserves the right to determine whether content is being distributed primarily for fraudulent purposes.
Does this policy apply to Tidal Upload?
Yes. Tidal Upload content is subject to the same AI-generated music standards as catalog content.
If Tidal determines that Upload content is wholly AI-generated, it may be labeled as AI-generated and will not be eligible for direct-to-fan monetization.
