Toto’s Spotify Page Momentarily Hosts AI-Produced Song

Days after it was reported that AI generated tracks had been [uploaded](https://newindustryfocus.com/articles/spotify-has-posted-ai-generated-songs-on-artists-official-pages-without-consent) to the official Spotify pages of deceased artists Blaze Foley and Guy Clark without label or estate permission, an unauthorized AI generated track has appeared on the official page of rock band Toto.

The details:

• The track was an instrumental called “Name This Night.”

• It was quickly identified as AI generated with no band involvement and removed.

• Toto have 28 million monthly listeners, making them the highest profile band to have this happen.

• As Digital Music News reports, rightsholders are calling for a verification process to be put in place before streaming platforms can release new music.

What they said:

• Steve Lukather, Toto founder and guitarist: “I am surprised Spotify let this on. There is not much we can do but catch them and have it taken down. It is shameless now. It will be worse, if say, they take our entire catalog and then AI makes a new Toto record that sounds really close to us but is not.”
