As the rise of artificial intelligence-generated music on streaming services continues, concerns are growing regarding how AI companies use copyrighted material and potential manipulations in streaming systems that could lead to fraud.

In a bid to address these issues, music streaming service Deezer has introduced an innovative tool capable of identifying AI-generated tracks. This free online detector supports 27 languages and covers playlists from 20 popular platforms, notifying users if their collections include synthetic tunes.

Deezer’s proactive stance contrasts with rivals like Apple Music and Spotify, which have opted for a more passive approach by tagging rather than removing AI content. The company has also begun offering its detection technology to other platforms, positioning itself as a leader in combating AI music fraud.

In light of these developments, Deezer shares that 44% of new uploads on their platform are AI-generated, with nearly 75,000 such tracks flooding them daily. While the listening rate for AI-generated music remains low (1-3% of total streams), around 85% of these streams are flagged as fraudulent and demonetized.

The launch of this tool comes amid Deezer’s careful consideration of future steps, including potential updates to supplier policies or content removals. This follows Bandcamp’s recent decision to ban AI music earlier this year.
