Spotify launched its "Verified by Spotify" badge on April 30, 2026, marking human artists with a green checkmark while excluding AI-generated or AI-persona profiles from eligibility. The move arrives as rival Deezer reports that 44% of its daily uploads — roughly 75,000 tracks per day — are now AI-generated, raising urgent questions about royalty dilution, the verification process's structural biases, and unresolved legal ambiguities around what "human-made" actually means under U.S. and EU copyright law.
