This article is the policy-level companion to the technical disclosure rules already covered in 2.18 - see that article for the specific upload-time disclosure mechanics.
11.7.1 The policy position, summarized
AI-generated and AI-assisted music is accepted on Madverse, subject to disclosure requirements at upload (2.18.3). The policy distinguishes between AI as a production tool (always fine, no disclosure needed — 2.18.3) and AI as a substantial content generator (requires disclosure).
11.7.2 What's prohibited outright, not just requiring disclosure
- AI-synthesised voices of real, identifiable artists without their documented consent — this aligns directly with Spotify's own voice-impersonation policy (2.18.1)
- Large-scale catalog flooding designed to exploit streaming royalties through volume (also referenced in 11.2.1)
- Content using a famous artist's name or likeness to mislead listeners — this also falls under Apple's broader Misleading Content editorial framework (2.30.5)
11.7.3 Why this is a policy article, not just a technical one
2.18 covers the mechanics of disclosure at upload. This article confirms the policy reasoning behind it — the goal is transparency for listeners and protection of real artists' identities, not a blanket restriction on AI as a creative tool.
