## Key points

- IFPI introduces AI eligibility and labelling rules for global music charts.
- AI-assisted tracks must be authorised, disclosed and primarily human-created.
- Rules cover IFPI charts across several international regions.

## Summary

The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry has adopted new principles for identifying and assessing generative AI music on international charts. The policy supports clearer labelling of AI use while seeking to ensure charts continue to recognise primarily human-created work and exclude music that may exploit artists or manipulate streaming.

To qualify, AI-assisted tracks must use authorised tools, comply with copyright, related and personality rights, disclose their AI use, and remain primarily created by humans. The rules apply to IFPI-managed charts across the Middle East and North Africa, South-East Asia, South Africa and Latin America; the body will also work with chart operators including South Korea’s Circle Chart, France’s SNEP and Australia’s ARIA.
