Every Day, 10,000 AI-Generated Tracks Uploaded to Deezer

AI Generated Music on Deezer

Deezer reported that approximately 10,000 tracks created by AI are uploaded to the platform daily, which accounts for around 10% of all music uploaded.

The French music streaming service announced in a press release that its tool for detecting AI-generated music found that 10% of daily uploads are created by artificial intelligence. This detection tool employs “a number of generative models, such as Suno and UDIO,” with the possibility of expansion as it adapts to new examples.

Commitment to Transparency and Artist Rights

Deezer is committed to marking AI-generated content to ensure user transparency, guaranteeing that it is excluded from algorithmic recommendations. Additionally, Deezer aims to further develop its AI detection technology to address issues related to deep fake voices.

DEEZER’s Director General Alexis Lanterner stated, “As artificial intelligence increasingly disrupts the musical ecosystem, with a rising number of streaming platforms inundated by AI, we take pride in having developed an advanced tool that enhances transparency for both creators and fans.”

“Generative AI has the potential for a positive impact on the creation and consumption of music, but its use should be approached with responsibility and caution to protect the rights and earnings of artists and songwriters.”

The streaming service also presented its AI strategy at the November 2024 CISAC (the International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers) conference, emphasizing that artists will face risks until 2028.

In October 2024, Deezer signed a Global statement of training AI that opposes the unlicensed use of creative works for training generative AI.

In related news, Paul McCartney criticized the proposed changes to copyright law, stating that if implemented, they would enable AI to undermine artists and result in a “loss of creativity.”

The British government is currently reviewing amendments to copyright law that would allow AI developers to utilize online creator content for data and intellectual analysis to enhance their models.

“When we were kids in Liverpool, we found a job that we loved, but it also paid the bills,” McCartney shared in an interview on Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg. “You have young people writing beautiful songs who don’t own them and receive nothing in return. Anyone can just exploit it.”

“The truth is that money is disappearing from somewhere… someone is paying, so why not the person who sat down and wrote the song yesterday?”
