Deezer Adds AI Song Tags to Tackle Streaming Fraud
Deezer announced Friday that it will begin labeling albums that include AI-generated tracks in combat against streaming fraud.
The music streaming service reports that about 18% of the music uploaded each day — more than 20,000 tracks — is now fully AI-generated.
While most of these tracks don't go viral, Deezer says around 70% of its streams are fake and designed to earn royalties fraudulently.
To combat this, AI-generated tracks on Deezer are now clearly tagged and won't appear in editorial playlists or algorithm-based recommendations.
Fraudulent streams are also being filtered out of royalty payments.
The company says the new labels will be a game changer in helping listeners determine the difference between human-created music and AI content.
Deezer notes that for now, AI-only songs make up just 0.5% of all streams on its platform, but that the trend is growing fast.
'We've detected a significant uptick in delivery of AI-generated music only in the past few months and we see no sign of it slowing down. It's an industry-wide issue, and we are committed to leading the way in increasing transparency by helping music fans identify which albums include AI music,' Deezer CEO Alexis Lanternier said in a
press release
.
'AI is not inherently good or bad, but we believe a responsible and transparent approach is key to building trust with our users and the music industry,' he added. 'We are also clear in our commitment to safeguarding the rights of artists and songwriters at a time where copyright law is being put into question in favor of training AI models.'
Deezer applied for two patents in December 2024 for its AI Detection technology, which it says is focused on two different ways of detecting 'unique signatures' that tell the difference between synthetic and authentic content.
The move comes as Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, and Sony Music Entertainment are reportedly in talks to license their work to AI startups Udio and Suno,
Bloomberg
reported earlier this month.
The startups are being sued by the record companies for copyright infringement, and any deal would help to settle lawsuits between them.
