Music service Deezer has spent the last year developing a tool to detect wholly-AI-generated music uploaded to its service. Its announcement on Friday came with a startling statistic. The company estimates that around 10% of new tracks on its platform have been “fully AI generated”. That’s around 10,000 tracks a day.
“Most of the daily delivery of AI tracks are never streamed on Deezer, but they are however diluting the catalog and may be used for fraudulent activity,” added Deezer in its notes accompanying the announcement. The company says that its tool can detect music created by models including Suno and Udio, but will also be able to expand to cover others as they emerge.
What will Deezer do with this information? As things stand it will not be removing these tracks, but it will tag them as AI-generated so that listeners know, and it will also remove them from its algorithmic recommendations.
