Short summary

Tidal will label 100% AI-generated music starting July 15th and remove them from royalty monetization immediately, balancing AI innovation with artist protection. The policy reflects streaming platforms' growing tension between enabling AI tools and protecting human creators. Other platforms may adopt similar policies as the industry standardizes AI-content governance.
