Shocking shift: 44 pct of tracks on Deezer are AI-generated

This amounts to more than 2 Million AI-generated tracks uploaded per month.

Thanks to Deezer’s industry unique measures, consumption of AI-generated music on the platform is still very low, between 1-3% of the total streams. In addition, a majority (85%) of these streams are detected as fraudulent and are demonetized by Deezer.

“AI-generated music is now far from a marginal phenomenon and as daily deliveries keep increasing, we hope the whole music ecosystem will join us in taking action to help safeguard artist’s rights and promote transparency for fans,” said Alexis Lanternier, CEO of Deezer.

“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. Since January, we have made our detection technology available for licensing, and we’re looking forward to seeing industry peers of all kinds join us in the fight for fairness in the age of AI.”

Since January 2025, when Deezer launched its patent-pending AI-music detection tool, the company has driven the conversation around AI-generated music, by regularly revealing updated facts and figures. This includes the amount of tracks uploaded daily, a number which has increased from 10,000 to 75,000 in little over a year.

Deezer also commissioned a unique international study on attitudes towards AI-music, which revealed that 97% of people couldn’t hear the differences between AI and human made music, and that 80% of people  agree that 100% AI-generated music should be clearly labeled to listeners.
