Deezer Takes on the AI Flood: Leading Transparency in Music
Deezer is facing staggering numbers: over 60,000 fully AI-generated tracks are uploaded daily — almost 40% of all new releases. Growth is explosive: 50,000 in November 2025, 30,000 in September, and just 10,000 a year ago, when Deezer first introduced an AI detector. Over the past year, the platform has identified and tagged 13.4 million synthetic tracks. Now the technology is available commercially for the entire industry, positioning Deezer as a leader in AI transparency. How it works: Detects 100% of tracks from Suno, Udio, and easily adapts to new generators Operates universally — no dependence on specific datasets Every AI track is tagged and excluded from algorithms, editorial playlists, and royalty pools Fraud numbers underline the need: Up to 85% of AI streams in 2025 were bots AI content makes up just 3% of real streams, yet drives revenue manipulation Overall fraud across the catalog — only 8% CEO Alexis Lanternier said: "Deezer continues to create a transparent experience for artists and fans, taking responsibility to combat AI-driven fraud in the music industry." Amid CISAC/PMP projections suggesting AI could cost creators €4B (25% of income) by 2028, Deezer’s move is a lifeline for the industry.
