Bandcamp Announces Ban on AI Music | Pitchfork

Bandcamp has announced a ban on AI-generated music on its platform, stating that music created wholly or in substantial part by AI will be removed. The company aims to ensure that fans have confidence that the music they find on Bandcamp was created by humans. This policy targets uploads designed by AI models in response to a prompt, especially those with little to no human alteration. While musicians can still use AI for small tasks like inspiration, Bandcamp's stance contrasts with other platforms like Spotify, which have not yet taken similar actions.
