10,000 AI-generated tracks are uploaded to Deezer every day

Deezer has said around 10,000 AI-generated tracks are submitted to the platform daily – making up around 10% of all its music uploads.

The French music streaming service wrote in a press release that its AI music detection tool found that about 10% of daily uploads are AI-generated. The detection tool uses “a number of generative models such as Suno and Udio”, with the potential to expand as it can access new examples.

The streaming service aims to flag content that is AI-generated for user transparency, assuring that it is removed from algorithmic recommendations. Deezer also wants to continue developing the capabilities of its AI-detection technology to include deep fake voices.

Deezer’s CEO Alexis Lanternier said: “As artificial intelligence continues to increasingly disrupt the music ecosystem, with a growing amount of AI content flooding streaming platforms like Deezer, we are proud to have developed a cutting-edge tool that will increase transparency for creators and fans alike.”

“Generative AI has the potential to positively impact music creation and consumption but its use must be guided by responsibility and care in order to safeguard the rights and revenues of artists and songwriters.”

The streaming service also shared a November 2024 AI strategy study by CISAC (the International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers), which highlighted that nearly 25% (or €4 billion) of artists revenues will be at risk by 2028.

In October 2024, Deezer signed the global statement on AI training, standing against the unlicensed use of creative works for training generative AI.

In other AI in music-related news, Paul McCartney has criticised proposed changes to copyright law, saying if it goes ahead it will allow AI to rip off artists and result in a “loss of creativity”.

The UK government is currently considering altering the copyright law to allow AI developers use of creators’ content on the internet if they are data or text mining to help develop their models.

“When we were kids in Liverpool, we found a job that we loved, but it also paid the bills,” McCartney said during an interview on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg. “You get young guys, girls, coming up, and they write a beautiful song, and they don’t own it, and they don’t have anything to do with it. And anyone who wants can just rip it off.”

“The truth is, the money’s going somewhere… Somebody’s getting paid, so why shouldn’t it be the guy who sat down and wrote Yesterday?”
