Polskie Radio Kierowców Aired AI-Generated Song for a Month

How the story came out

The issue gained attention after comments on the Radiopolska.pl forum. Users pointed out that the song was generated by AI and could not be found on popular streaming platforms. Some listeners also voiced disappointment, saying they had so far valued the station's programme and music selection.

The last broadcast took place on Monday 2 November shortly after 2 p.m., just after questions about the track reached Polskie Radio. The press office confirmed an error. It said labels and artists do not disclose how a recording was produced, and that the journalist made a mistake by not checking the track more carefully. "The matter was discussed in the editorial office and the situation will not happen again. As a rule, there are no AI-created tracks in Polskie Radio's playlist," the broadcaster said. Odsłuchane.eu data shows no other monitored station played the song.

Other broadcasters keep their distance

Rival broadcasters also say they steer clear of AI music. RMF FM programme director Iwona Bołdak said track selection is driven mainly by listener opinions gathered in music research, and that no known AI-generated song has yet won broad acceptance.

ZPR Media PR manager Krzysztof Głowiński-Lubiak said the group continuously analyses listener tastes and has not seen interest in AI-generated music. Eurozet said it does not allow songs known to be AI-made on air, and Michał Aleksandrowicz from its press office said Radio Zet does not play such tracks.

The case shows how hard it can be to spot synthetic music when labels and artists do not disclose how a track was made.
