## YouTube Music Labels AI-Generated Songs
YouTube Music began rolling out labels for songs created primarily using generative AI on October 14, 2026.
## AI-Generated Song Labels
YouTube will identify AI-generated tracks using partner disclosures and its own detection tools to apply labels like 'Fully Gen AI', 'Partly Gen AI', or 'No Gen AI'.
## Label Designations
Partners can declare content as 'Fully Gen AI', 'Partly Gen AI', or 'No Gen AI' through DDEX or CSV delivery templates.
## Fully Gen AI Examples
YouTube lists a track downloaded from an AI music generator after a user enters a text prompt as 'Fully Gen AI'.
## Partly Gen AI Examples
YouTube lists an artist who uses AI to create a bassline or string section but adds live vocals and instrumentation as 'Partly Gen AI'.
## No Gen AI Examples
Pitch-correction software like Auto-Tune and automated AI mastering fall under 'No Gen AI' according to YouTube.
## YouTube's Labeling Process
YouTube may use additional signals to augment partner declarations, applying labels even if partners do not disclose AI use.
## Key takeaway

YouTube Music labels AI-generated songs as 'Fully Gen AI', 'Partly Gen AI', or 'No Gen AI' using partner disclosures and its own detection tools.
