  • Deezer, a French music streaming platform, has introduced a free tool to identify AI-generated tracks in playlists across major streaming platforms.
  • The tool is available to users of approximately 20 commonly used streaming services, enabling them to scan their playlists for synthetic music.
  • Deezer also licenses its AI-detection technology to the wider music industry and has previously partnered with France’s royalty agency, Sacem.
  • Around 43% of Deezer users transitioning from rival services already have AI-generated music in their playlists.
  • Deezer automatically removes AI-generated songs from its algorithmic recommendations and editorial playlists to prevent dilution of royalty pools.
  • A 2024 Cisac study indicates that AI-generated music poses a potential risk of siphoning off €4 billion ($4.6 billion) or 25% of artists’ revenue by 2028.
  • Deezer receives nearly 75,000 AI-generated tracks daily, constituting more than 44% of its daily new music delivery.
  • A Deezer-Ipsos survey found that 80% of respondents want AI-generated music clearly labelled on streaming platforms.
