Politicians in the European parliament are unhappy with music discovery, diversity, and AI in their new proposed bill for music streaming.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The EU are re-examining how music streaming runs in their member states. A new proposed bill looks to tackle transparency across a number of areas including music discovery algorithms and AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The European Parliament’s Culture and Education Committee have proposed a new bill. The \u2018Cultural Diversity and the Conditions for Authors in the European Streaming Market<\/a>\u2018 was voted for by 23 members, with 3 against, and one abstention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amongst the proposals are laws that would require streaming services to make their algorithms transparent. They want the methods that music streaming services use to recommend music to be known. They also want them to “guarantee that European works are visible and accessible”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They also want AI-generated tracks to be clearly labelled. The bill would enforce clarity for listeners as to whether they are listening to human-produced music or AI-generated songs. It’s come to that, yes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussions around AI and music have moved closer to legislation in recent months. The UK recently held a roundtable to discuss the policy around AI and music<\/a>. Meanwhile, the AI conversation has gained tempo in the US<\/a> and has helped the push of a ‘No Fakes Act<\/a>‘.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
