HAIM: Human-AI Music Datasets for AI Music Production Tracking Benchmark
As generative platforms such as Suno and Udio reach human-grade audio quality, the scope of AI's utility has expanded across the entire music production workflow. Beyond simple track generation, these advancements have catalyzed the adoption of AI-driven methodologies in diverse forms. These include vocal synthesis, arrangement, and professional mastering. However, current detection research remains largely confined to a binary `AI-or-human' paradigm. It fails to reflect the realities of contemporary music production workflows. In real-world production, AI tools are increasingly used to refine or master human-produced tracks, and human engineers likewise post-process AI-generated material to ensure professional quality. Moreover, users often employ adversarial tactics to bypass AI detectors, such as applying human mastering to AI-generated tracks. This creates a grey area that a simple binary classification fails to capture. In this paper, we define and investigate ``AI Music Tracking'': the challenge of identifying specific AI integration across the multifaceted spectrum of music production. To this end, we introduce HAIM, a dataset with diverse labels for stages of music production. It is designed to isolate stages of AI intervention, including hybrid production and agent-level tracking. Our evaluation of state-of-the-art detectors reveals systemic flaws. By releasing HAIM, we propose a new benchmark that shifts the field beyond binary classification toward a granular, structured evaluation of AI music.
