French streaming service Deezer reported on Wednesday (Nov. 12) that roughly 50,000 songs delivered to the platform daily are now fully AI-generated, in what amounts to the company’s fourth report on the surge of AI-generated content on its service this year.
Along with that statistic, Deezer also released the findings of a new survey about AI’s use in the music industry, including the stat that 97% of people can’t tell the difference between human-made and fully AI-generated musical works.
According to Deezer’s proprietary AI detection tool — which only searches for fully AI-generated songs from select popular models, including Suno and Udio — the number of fully AI-generated songs delivered daily has been rapidly increasing throughout 2025. In January, it reported that the figure was 10,000 songs a day; in April, it noted the figure was 20,000 songs daily; and in September, it reported the number had risen to 30,000 songs daily.
In an interview with Billboard about the company’s AI research in May, Aurelien Herault, Deezer’s chief innovation officer, and Manuel Moussallam, its director of research, said that part of the reason why they were finding a growing number of fully-AI generated songs was simply that their “data got better” — as well as the fact that the overall volume of fully AI-generated songs had increased as more users adopted AI tools like Suno and Udio.
Beyond flagging AI use, Deezer has taken a proactive approach to regulating this content on its platform. To create transparency, Deezer adds a tag to any fully AI-generated work it detects on the platform, while removing it from algorithmic and editorial recommendations and playlists.
To continue its research into the emerging technology and its impact on the music business, Deezer also produced a new survey on the perceptions and attitudes around AI music. The study was executed by Ipsos with a total of 9,000 participants across eight countries — the United States, Canada, Brazil, the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands, Germany and Japan.
