Big news in the world of streaming: Deezer has become the first platform to clearly label albums that include fully AI-generated tracks. If you’ve been wondering how to tell the difference between human-created music and AI content, this is a game changer.
We have recently launched a powerful AI detection tool, and the results are wild—about 18% of music uploaded each day (over 20,000 tracks!) is now fully AI-generated. While most of these tracks don’t go viral, Deezer found that around 70% of their streams are fake, often uploaded to exploit royalty systems.
To fight back, we are taking a bold step:
- AI-generated tracks are now clearly tagged so listeners know what they’re hearing.
- These tracks won’t show up in editorial playlists or algorithm-based recommendations.
- And most importantly, fraudulent streams are being filtered out of royalty payments.
For now, AI-only songs make up just 0.5% of all streams on Deezer, but the trend is growing fast, and with this new tagging system, Deezer is setting a precedent for how streaming platforms can handle the rise of AI music responsibly.
What do you think? Should other platforms keep it real and tag AI music too?
