Global streaming platform Deezer has reported that over 20,000 entirely AI-generated tracks — or around 18% of all tracks — are uploaded to its platform daily. That’s an increase from the previously reported 10% in January, when Deezer launched its cutting-edge AI music detection tool. The company’s AI music detection tool sets an industry standard — but the onslaught of AI-generated music is unrelenting.
“AI generated content continues to flood streaming platforms like Deezer, and we see no sign of it slowing down,” said Aurelien Herault, Chief Innovation Officer, Deezer. “Generative AI has the potential to positively impact music creation and consumption, but we need to approach the development with responsibility and care in order to safeguard the rights and revenues of artists and songwriters, while maintaining transparency for the fans. Thanks to our cutting-edge tool, we are already removing fully AI generated content from the algorithmic recommendations.”
Still, the reported increase in AI-generated content comes at a time of growing concerns about AI companies training their models with copyrighted material. Platforms like Suno and Udio have been sued by the major labels, but those lawsuits are still pending. Moreover, concerns are ever-growing of governments potentially diminishing copyright laws to facilitate AI development.
Deezer has reiterated its commitment to protecting the rights of artists and creators, and remains the only streaming platform to sign the global statement on AI training.
