Paris, November 12, 2025 – Deezer, the global music experience platform, has commissioned the world’s first survey focused on perceptions and attitudes towards AI-generated Music. The survey was carried out by Ipsos with a total of 9000 people in 8 countries – United States, Canada, Brazil, UK, France, Netherlands, Germany and Japan. It revealed a clear desire for tagging 100% AI-generated music and making sure artists and songwriters are being fairly treated and paid if their music is used to train AI-models.
Initially, all participants were asked to listen to three tracks and determine whether or not they were fully AI-generated – 97% of the respondents failed. A majority (71%) of the respondents were surprised by these results and more than half (52%) felt uncomfortable by not being able to tell the difference. All key results from the survey can be found below.
Deezer has taken an industry-unique approach towards AI music, championing the rights of artists, while ensuring transparency for music fans – the company is so far the only streaming platform to detect and clearly tag 100% AI-generated content for its users.
Alexis Lanternier, CEO, Deezer, said: “Deezer has been leading the way in creating solutions for transparency and minimizing the negative impact of fully AI-generated content flooding music streaming. The survey results clearly show that people care about music and want to know if they’re listening to AI or human made tracks or not. There’s also no doubt that there are concerns about how AI-generated music will affect the livelihood of artists, music creation and that AI companies shouldn’t be allowed to train their models on copyrighted material. It’s reassuring to see that we have broad support for our efforts.”
If “music streaming users” (n=6791) is not specifically mentioned, the below data refers to all respondents (General Population n=9000)

Deezer commissioned an online survey by Ipsos Digital, fielded October 6–10, 2025 across eight markets (n=9,000 adults 18-65). Quotas were applied to ensure nationally proportional representation. If “music streaming users” (n=6791) is not specifically mentioned, the data refers to all respondents.
Deezer’s AI detection tool has been in place since the beginning of 2025, enabling the company to track a steady increase of fully synthetic content on the platform. In June, Deezer became the first (and so far only) music streaming platform to explicitly tag AI-generated music.
With the ability to detect 100 % AI-generated music from the most prolific generative models – such as Suno and Udio, with the possibility to add detection capabilities for practically any other similar tool as long as there’s access to relevant data examples. Not only that, Deezer has made significant progress in creating a system with increased generalizability, to detect AI generated content without a specific dataset to train on.
The increase in fully AI generated content in music streaming comes at a time of growing concerns about AI companies training their models with copyrighted material, and governments potentially diminishing copyright laws to facilitate AI development. Deezer is committed to protecting the rights of artists and creators, and remains the only streaming platform to sign the global statement on AI training.
According to a study conducted by CISAC and PMP Strategy, with participation from key industry players (including Deezer), nearly 25% of creators’ revenues are at risk by 2028, which could amount to as much as €4 billion by that time. This represents a colossal, even critical, challenge for the music creation sector as a whole. Read the PMP Strategy/CISAC study on the economic impact of AI in music and audiovisual industries.
Although fully AI-generated music currently accounts for only a small fraction of streams on Deezer — approximately 0.5% — it’s evident that the primary purpose of uploading these tracks to streaming platforms is fraudulent. Deezer has found that up to 70% of the streams generated by fully AI-generated tracks are in fact fraudulent. When detecting stream manipulation of any kind, Deezer excludes the streams from the royalty payments.
All 100% AI generated songs are automatically removed from algorithmic recommendations and are not included in editorial playlists. This is a first step in making sure that these tracks don’t dilute the royalty pool in any significant way. Potential future actions, including updating our supplier policy and removing/demonetizing content need to be based on careful consideration.
In December 2024, Deezer applied for two patents for its AI Detection technology, focused on two different methods of detecting unique signatures that are used to distinguish synthetic content from authentic content.
