Spotify says its AI remix tool protects artists from unregulated ‘slop’

Critics of platform’s proposed new feature say it could accelerate the spread of machine-generated music

Spotify’s chief executive has said the company’s move into AI-generated music offers users and creators a better alternative to unregulated AI slop.

Last week, the platform announced a new feature in which premium users will be allowed to create their own, AI-generated remixes and song covers using music from participating artists.
