Deezer uploads more than 10,000 AI music pieces every day, and the platform begins to detect and mark them

According to the latest disclosure of the Deezer platform, more than 10,000 music works completely generated by artificial intelligence are uploaded to its platform every day. In response, Deezer is developing a suite of AI music detection and tagging tools designed to better identify these AI-created content.

Deezer, the Paris-based music streaming service, recently released an official announcement revealing the latest developments in its AI music detection tool. The tool is currently able to identify music generated through mainstream AI creation tools such as Suno and Udio, and will have the ability to detect other generative models in the future, simply by obtaining relevant data examples. What’s more noteworthy is that Deezer said it is developing an AI-generated content detection system that does not require a specific data set to adapt to the emerging AI music creation tools in the future.

According to Deezer's description, the AI ​​music works currently uploaded to its platform every day account for about 10% of the average daily content delivery. Although Deezer's user base is smaller than Spotify and Apple Music, it still has about 100,000 new music online every day. According to statistics from Luminate, the average daily new recordings on digital music service platforms will reach 99,000 in 2024, a decrease of 4.4% from 2023. At the same time, Spotify claims to have more than 100 million music titles on its official website, while Deezer proudly states that its music library has exceeded 120 million titles.

However, Deezer also noticed that most of these AI-generated music works are not played by users. This trend may not only dilute the quality of the music catalog, but also may lead to some fraudulent activities. In this regard, Deezer executive Alexis Lanternier said that although generative AI has the potential to have a positive impact on music creation and consumption, its application must be cautious to ensure that the rights and income of artists and songwriters are protected. As a result, Deezer plans to exclude entirely AI-generated content from its algorithms and editorial recommendations.

Looking to the future, with the increasing popularity of AI music creation, how to effectively distinguish human creations from AI works will become a challenge that major streaming media platforms must face. In this regard, Deezer's move may provide new ideas for the industry. How to find a balance between protecting creative rights and promoting technological innovation will be the focus worthy of attention next.
