Deezer Takes the Lead in AI Music Detection

Deezer has launched a tool that scans playlists from various streaming platforms to identify AI-generated tracks. This free online AI music detector supports 27 languages and gives users from 20 of the most popular platforms the chance to see if their playlists include any AI-generated songs.

The Rise of AI-Generated Music and Concerns

As the rise of AI-generated music on streaming services continues, concerns are growing regarding how AI companies use copyrighted material to train their models, as well as how potential manipulations in streaming systems could lead to fraud. Many music streaming services have yet to launch AI music detection tools, making Deezer's move significant.

How the Tool Works and Its Impact

To use the new tool, users go to Deezer's AI music detector website, select their streaming service, and allow Deezer to access their playlists. Once playlists are imported, the service scans for AI content, notifies users of any findings, and offers the option to share results. The tool is compatible with Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, and YouTube Music, among other platforms.

Deezer's Stance on AI Music

Deezer actively removes AI tracks from recommendations and excludes them from editorial playlists. The company recently began offering its AI detection technology to rival platforms. According to CEO Alexis Lanternier, "By detecting and tagging AI-generated music over the past year and a half, Deezer has been at the forefront of transparency in music streaming."

The Scale of AI-Generated Music on Deezer

  • 44% of all new music uploaded to Deezer's platform is AI-generated.
  • The company receives nearly 75,000 AI-generated tracks daily, totaling over two million each month.
  • Despite the influx, AI-generated music accounts for just 1-3% of total streams.
  • Around 85% of these streams are flagged as fraudulent and are demonetized by the platform.

Future Steps and Industry Implications

Deezer is carefully considering future steps, such as updating supplier policies or removing content, following in Bandcamp's footsteps, which banned AI music earlier this year. This move positions Deezer as one of the music industry's most aggressive opponents of AI music, which could be a selling point for its service among consumers.
