According to the latest disclosure from the Deezer platform, over 10,000 completely AI-generated music pieces are uploaded to its platform every day. In response, Deezer is developing a set of AI music detection and tagging tools aimed at better identifying these AI-created contents.
Deezer, the Paris-based music streaming service, recently released an official statement revealing the latest progress of its AI music detection tool. The tool is currently capable of identifying music generated by mainstream AI creation tools like Suno and Udio, and it will also have the ability to detect other generative models in the future, provided it receives relevant data samples. Notably, Deezer stated that it is developing an AI-generated content detection system that does not require specific datasets to adapt to the continuously emerging AI music creation tools.
According to Deezer, the AI-generated music uploaded to its platform currently accounts for about 10% of the daily content delivery. Although Deezer's user base is smaller compared to Spotify and Apple Music, approximately 100,000 new songs are still released daily. According to statistics from Luminate, in 2024, the daily average of new recordings on digital music service platforms reached 99,000, a 4.4% decrease from 2023. Meanwhile, Spotify claims to have over 100 million music pieces on its official website, while Deezer proudly states that its music library has surpassed 120 million tracks.
However, Deezer has also noted that most of these AI-generated music pieces are not being played by users. This trend could not only dilute the quality of the music catalog but also potentially lead to some fraudulent activities. In response, Deezer executive Alexis Lanternier stated that while generative AI has the potential to positively impact music creation and consumption, its application must be cautious to ensure the rights and income of artists and songwriters are protected. Therefore, Deezer plans to exclude content that is completely generated by AI from its algorithms and editorial recommendations.
Looking ahead, as AI music creation becomes increasingly popular, effectively distinguishing between human creations and AI works will become a challenge that major streaming platforms must face. Deezer's initiative may provide new insights for the industry on how to find a balance between protecting creative rights and promoting technological innovation, which will be a focal point worth paying attention to in the future.
