JAKARTA - Spotify is taking steps to start removing tens of thousands of songs composed by generative Artificial Intelligence (AI), Boomy's.

Boomy is a startup that offers AI-powered musical creation tools. According to reports, it is suspected that a bot was used to increase the number of viewers artificially in the song.

A practice known as artificial streaming. However, the streaming giant only removed 7 percent of the song uploaded by Boomy users.

The company's move came after Universal Music marked the songs as suspicious and threatening streaming activity with demands that Spotify was found to host AI-made music.

"Made streaming is an old problem in all industries Spotify is working on to eradicate across our services," Spotify told The Financial Times, quoted from Mashable, Wednesday, May 10.

In response to this, Boomy through Discord stated that after an investigation into potentially anomalous activity, Spotify had restored its ability to publish songs on site.

"As the music industry continues to navigate the use of bots and other types of suspicious activity, this pause tends to occur more regularly and on broader platforms," Boomy said.

Launching AI Business, Boomy based in Berkeley, California, United States (US) was founded in 2018 and supported by Sound Media Ventures, Warner Music Group and others.

Spotify Boomy's discography contains content posted only in 2022, with one album titled "500 Ways to Have Fun" containing 500 songs, the most listened to nearly 60,000 playbacks.
