Spotify adds green "Verified" badges to identify human artists and AI content.

Spotify has introduced a green "Verified by Spotify" badge to help listeners identify human artists and distinguish them from AI-generated content. The badge is granted to profiles demonstrating sustained listener engagement, compliance with rules, and real-world presence, excluding AI personas. The rollout follows Spotify's Q1 2026 earnings and adds a new "artist nutrition label" to profiles for transparency.
