Bandcamp Bans AI-Generated Music, Pioneering Platform-Wide AI Content Ban
TL;DR Summary
Bandcamp announced that AI-generated music or content generated wholly or substantially by AI is not permitted on the platform, and that impersonation of artists or styles is prohibited; users are urged to flag AI-based works, and Bandcamp’s policy also forbids using Bandcamp content to train AI models. This makes Bandcamp the first major music platform to outright ban AI-generated content, with rivals like Spotify/Deezer taking a more cautious stance and iHeartRadio pledging not to play AI-generated music.
