How does Wowzaradio disclose AI-generated content?
Every piece of content AI wrote, rewrote or voiced carries an “AI-assisted” label linking to this page. AI presenters identify themselves as AI hosts once an hour on air, and the station page notes when a voice is AI. AI news reads always summarise a named source and are never published without one. Station owners can require their own approval before any AI-written text appears on their station's public pages.

What AI does here
- Voices station IDs, song intros, news reads and weather for stations that run an AI presenter.
- Drafts a station's description, tags and cover art when a new station is launched.
- Summarises news articles into short on-air reads, from sources we name.
- Suggests social posts, episode titles and show notes for hosts to edit.
- Generates instrumental music beds and jingles for stations that ask for them.
What AI never does
- Invents news. Every AI news read summarises a sourced article, and the source is named.
- Impersonates a real named presenter, artist or public figure.
- Replaces the play logs and cue sheets you file — those are recorded from what actually aired.
- Speaks as though it were human. AI presenters identify themselves as AI hosts on air.
- Decides who gets paid. Payouts and royalties are calculated from real logged plays.
On air
Stations that run an AI presenter have that presenter say it is an AI host once every hour, in the station ID break — for example “you're with Nova, the AI host on this station”. Hosts can word it their own way, but they cannot remove it.
If you run a station
- You are responsible for what your station broadcasts, including anything AI drafted for it. Every AI draft is editable.
- Want a stricter rule? Switch on AI review in your station settings and AI-written descriptions and biographies are held as drafts until you approve them. It is off by default so new stations still launch in ninety seconds.
Frequently asked questions
Does Wowzaradio label AI-generated content?
Yes. Anything written, rewritten or voiced with AI carries an "AI-assisted" label wherever it appears — on articles, article listings, station descriptions and social posts — and the label links to this page.
Do AI radio presenters say they are AI?
Yes. A station running an AI presenter has that presenter identify itself as an AI host once every hour, in its station ID break, and the station's page notes that the voice is AI.
Can AI news reads be trusted?
AI never writes news from nothing. Each read summarises a specific published article and names the source, so a listener or host can check the original. If no source is attached, the read is not published.
Does a person review AI content before it goes out?
Station owners are responsible for what their station broadcasts, and every AI draft is editable before and after it airs. Owners who want a stricter rule can switch on AI review for their station, which holds every AI-written description or biography as a draft until they approve it.
Is AI-generated music licensed?
Instrumental beds and jingles generated on the platform are cleared for use on your own station and podcasts. They are not registered with a collecting society, so they generate no royalty — and they need no licence from one.
How do I report AI content that is wrong?
Use the support form and include the station or article. Factual errors in AI news reads are corrected or removed, and repeat problems switch the source off. If an AI voice or article misrepresents you, tell us and we will take it down while we check.
We update this page when our use of AI changes. If you spot something on the platform that should be labelled and is not, tell us — that is a bug, not a grey area.
