Kumi Tanioka, the composer behind Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles and other game soundtracks, has said an album appearing on her Spotify profile is not her work and appears to be AI-generated. The record, titled "A Village Built on Wind", was listed under her name on streaming services, leaving her uncertain whether it was created using AI or simply misattributed to someone sharing her name. The incident highlights ongoing problems with streaming platforms failing to verify artist identities, an issue that predates AI but has been exacerbated by it.

Tanioka raised the issue on social media, saying she had not made the album and asking listeners to enjoy it as someone else's work. Digital Sonic Design, a company that has published some of her music, confirmed no copyright infringement had occurred and suggested the mix-up could involve another person of the same name, though YouTube Music has specifically labelled the tracks as AI-generated. The mislabelling underscores criticism that Spotify has been slow to address artist-profile mix-ups, a longstanding issue now complicated by the rise of AI-generated music.
