TIDAL uses automated AI tools to scan and flag content uploaded through its Tidal Upload feature for potential violations of its content guidelines, with human reviewers making final decisions on serious cases.

TIDAL's publicly available Content Guidelines confirm that AI-powered automated systems perform initial detection by scanning uploaded audio content for potential policy violations upon upload. Human moderation teams then review content flagged by the automated systems. For serious actions such as account suspension, a human review is required before any decision is finalized. Users can appeal automated decisions to a human moderator. A separate DMCA-oriented copyright detection algorithm is also reported to scan uploaded tracks for rights violations.
