Deezer announced that 44 percent of all new tracks uploaded to its platform daily are AI-generated, totaling around 75,000 such songs each day. The company has developed detection technology that flags this content, limiting its streams to 1-3 percent of total usage, with most demonetized for fraud. Deezer's measures aim to curb payment dilution from artificial streams.
Deezer, the Paris-based music streaming service, revealed that AI-generated music now constitutes 44 percent of its daily uploads. This equates to approximately 75,000 new AI tracks every day, up from 20,000 daily uploads—or 18 percent—earlier in 2025 following the launch of its detection tool in January that year. Across 2025, the platform flagged 13.4 million AI-generated songs, accumulating to about 2 million monthly at current rates. Deezer's patent-pending technology identifies AI content, particularly from tools like Suno and Udio, with a false positive rate below 0.01 percent. The company licenses this system to third parties and explicitly labels AI tracks on its platform. To prevent organic exposure, Deezer excludes flagged AI music from recommendations and editorial playlists. As a result, AI tracks account for just 1 to 3 percent of total streams, and around 85 percent of those are demonetized due to suspected fraud, where artificial streams aim to siphon royalties. A Deezer survey found that 97 percent of listeners could not distinguish AI-generated songs from human-made ones when presented with a mix. “Thanks to our technology and the proactive measures we put in place more than a year ago, we have shown that it’s possible to reduce AI-related fraud and payment dilution in streaming to a minimum,” said Deezer CEO Alexis Lanternier. The rise reflects broader advances in AI audio models, though Deezer strips AI music of high-resolution quality and calls for other platforms like Spotify to strengthen their defenses.
