Sony Music said on March 18 it has asked streaming platforms to remove more than 135,000 songs it says were created by fraudsters using generative AI to impersonate artists, flagging roughly 60,000 such tracks since March 2025. The disclosure at the IFPI's Global Music Report underscores rising streaming fraud as AI tools become cheaper, prompting calls for upload-point detection and transparency to protect artists' royalties.
