Deezer is now receiving over 60,000<\/strong> fully AI-generated tracks every day \u2013 and is moving to license its AI-detection technology to the wider music industry.<\/p>\n

The Paris-headquartered streaming service revealed the new figures today (January 29), confirming that synthetic content now accounts for roughly 39%<\/strong> of all music delivered to the platform daily.<\/p>\n

The 60,000<\/strong> figure marks another significant jump from the 50,000<\/strong> tracks Deezer reported in November<\/a>, the 30,000<\/strong> in September, and the 10,000<\/strong> it disclosed when it first launched its AI detection tool in January 2025.<\/p>\n

A year on from that launch, Deezer says it has detected and tagged over 13.4 million<\/strong> AI-generated tracks on its platform \u2013 and is now making its detection technology commercially available.<\/p>\n

The company says it has already performed successful tests with industry partners including French collecting society Sacem.<\/p>\n

“We’ve seen a great interest in both our approach and our tool,” said Alexis Lanternier, CEO, Deezer<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“From now on, we are licensing the tech to make it widely available. Deezer continues to lead the way in promoting a transparent experience for artists and fans, with a commitment to fight AI-music fraud across our industry.”<\/p>\n

<\/div> <\/div> <\/p>\n

Deezer also revealed that up to 85%<\/strong> of all streams on AI-generated music were fraudulent in 2025 \u2013 up from the 70%<\/strong> figure it reported last year. Those streams are demonetized and removed from the royalty pool.<\/p>\n

By comparison, streaming fraud across Deezer’s entire catalog accounted for 8%<\/strong> of all streams in 2025.<\/p>\n

While AI-generated music currently makes up only a small share of total streams on Deezer ( up to 3%<\/strong>), the platform maintains that generating fake streams remains the primary purpose for uploading such content.<\/p>\n

“We know that the majority of AI-music is uploaded to Deezer with the purpose of committing fraud, and we continue to take action.”<\/p>\n

“Music generated entirely by AI has become nearly indistinguishable from human creation, and with a continuous flood of uploads to streaming platforms, our approach remains crystal clear: transparency for fans and protecting the rights of artists and songwriters,” said Lanternier.<\/p>\n

“We know that the majority of AI-music is uploaded to Deezer with the purpose of committing fraud, and we continue to take action.<\/p>\n

“We detect and tag AI-generated music and remove it from algorithmic recommendations, so that our users have a clear choice regarding what to listen to, while making it harder for fraudsters to game the system.”<\/p>\n

Deezer noted that it’s the only music streaming platform to explicitly tag and exclude AI-generated music from algorithmic recommendations and editorial playlists.<\/p>\n

The company claims that its AI detection tool can identify 100%<\/strong> AI-generated music from generative models such as Suno and Udio, with the capability to add detection for other tools.<\/p>\n

Deezer says it has also made progress in creating a system with increased generalizability, capable of detecting AI-generated content without a specific dataset to train on.<\/p>\n

In December 2024, Deezer applied for two patents for its AI Detection technology, focused on methods of detecting unique signatures that distinguish synthetic content from human-made music.<\/p>\n

The announcement comes amid growing concerns about AI’s impact on creator revenues.<\/p>\n

According to a study conducted by CISAC and PMP Strategy, nearly 25%<\/strong> of creators’ revenues are at risk by 2028 \u2013 amounting to as much as \u20ac4 billion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
