Spotify is adding a 'Verified' badge to help users identify human artists, distinguishing them from AI-generated content. The badge will feature 'Verified by Spotify' text and a green checkmark for artists who meet specific authenticity criteria, such as linked social accounts and consistent listener activity.

Spotify's top developers have not written any code since December, attributing this shift to the use of AI in their development processes. The company has released over 50 new features and changes to its streaming app during this period.
