Deezer, a leading music streaming platform, has introduced an AI detection tool that automatically identifies and tags fully AI-generated music, helping to combat fraudulent streams. This innovative tool, initially launched last year, is now being extended to other streaming services, aiming to ensure fair recognition for human artists.
According to Deezer, a substantial 85% of streams from entirely AI-generated tracks have been flagged as fraudulent. The platform encounters a staggering influx of 60,000 AI tracks daily, amounting to a total of 13.4 million identified AI songs. These figures contrast with data from June last year, where AI-generated music accounted for 18% of daily uploads, exceeding 20,000 tracks.
Deezer’s AI music detection tool boasts an impressive accuracy rate of 99.8%, effectively distinguishing AI-generated tracks from major generative models like Suno and Udio. In a move to uphold transparency and equitable compensation within the music industry, Deezer not only excludes AI-generated tracks from recommendations but also withholds monetization and royalty distribution from such content.
Deezer’s CEO, Alexis Lanternier, reported widespread industry interest in the AI detection tool, with successful trials already conducted by prominent entities like Sacem, a major French music management company representing renowned artists.
While specific pricing details remain undisclosed, Deezer’s spokesperson highlighted the variable nature of costs depending on the partnership agreement. This strategic move by Deezer marks a significant step towards promoting authenticity and integrity in music streaming, safeguarding the creative endeavors of human musicians against the encroachment of AI-generated content.
