The amount of AI music in the world is going up, up, up, so much that you might not realise how much AI music is on a streaming service. Why is this the case, and how can you tell if something is AI?
AI has changed how we read information on the web and even how we view images, making both difficult to tell whether a human has touched it, and if either is real. Crazily, the same is happening with music, and streaming services are dealing with the ramifications right now.
Roughly two million AI-made tracks are appearing on music services each and every month, and the number is only growing.
How does AI music work, where do the voice and music styles come from, is it legal, and are there any giveaways to help you know what you’re listening to?
Pickr’s Leigh Stark joins ABC Adelaide’s Spence Denny on ABC SA & NT Evenings for April 27, 2026, where they dive into everything AI music you might have wanted to know. Tune in from around the 2 hour 37 minute mark (just before it, even) before the ABC pulls it down.
