The volume of fully AI-generated music being uploaded to Deezer has surged again – with the Paris-headquartered streaming service now receiving nearly 75,000 synthetic tracks every day.
That’s more than 2 million AI-generated tracks hitting the platform each month, according to the company, and it means AI-made music now accounts for 44% of all new tracks delivered to Deezer daily.
The new figures, revealed by Deezer today (April 20), mark a sharp escalation from the 60,000 tracks per day the company reported in January, when synthetic content represented 39% of daily deliveries.
It also marks a significant jump from the 50,000 AI tracks Deezer was receiving per day in November, 30,000 in September, and just 10,000 when it launched its patent-pending AI detection tool in January 2025.
Alongside the new data, Deezer has announced a fresh operational measure: the platform has now stopped storing hi-res versions of AI-generated tracks, on top of its existing policy of removing such content from algorithmic recommendations and editorial playlists.
Consumption of AI-generated music on Deezer remains low at between 1-3% of total streams, according to the company, with the vast majority (85%) of those streams detected as fraudulent and demonetized.
“AI-generated music is now far from a marginal phenomenon and as daily deliveries keep increasing, we hope the whole music ecosystem will join us in taking action to help safeguard artist’s rights and promote transparency for fans.”

“AI-generated music is now far from a marginal phenomenon, and as daily deliveries keep increasing, we hope the whole music ecosystem will join us in taking action to help safeguard artist’s rights and promote transparency for fans,” said Alexis Lanternier, CEO of Deezer.
“Thanks to our technology and the proactive measures we put in place more than a year ago, we have shown that it’s possible to reduce AI-related fraud and payment dilution in streaming to a minimum.
“Since January, we have made our detection technology available for licensing, and we’re looking forward to seeing industry peers of all kinds join us in the fight for fairness in the age of AI.”
Deezer claims to be the first streaming platform in the world to independently detect and tag AI-generated music at the platform level – a move it first made in June 2025.
The company says it has now detected and tagged more than 13.4 million AI tracks on the platform over the course of 2025.
Fellow French streaming service Qobuz followed suit in February, announcing it would use its own proprietary detection tool to tag AI-generated content across its catalog.
Other major streaming services, meanwhile, are pursuing AI transparency via supply-chain self-disclosure rather than platform-level detection.
Apple Music launched its Transparency Tags system in March, placing the onus on labels and distributors to declare AI-generated content at the point of delivery.
Spotify, meanwhile, announced in September that it would support the new DDEX industry standard for AI disclosures in music credits – a plan that was updated earlier this month with the launch of a beta feature allowing labels and distributors to submit AI-use credits that appear in Song Credits on mobile.
Deezer began commercially licensing its AI detection technology in January this year, with French collecting society Sacem as its first partner. The company then rolled out the tool to third parties more widely in March via its revamped ‘Deezer for Business’ unit – a one-stop B2B shop bringing its partnership, advertising, and technology licensing offerings under a single brand. Hungarian performers’ rights organization EJI became the latest licensee in late March.
The company claims its detection tool can identify 100% AI-generated music from leading generative models including Suno and Udio, with the capability to add detection for other tools. Deezer has also said it has made progress in creating a system with increased generalizability, capable of flagging AI-generated content without a specific dataset to train on.
In December 2024, the company applied for two patents covering its AI detection tech, focused on methods of identifying unique signatures that distinguish synthetic content from human-made music.
The updated figures come amid intensifying industry concern about AI’s impact on creator revenues – and ongoing litigation between rightsholders and generative AI firms including Suno, Udio, and Anthropic.
According to a study by CISAC and PMP Strategy, nearly 25% of music creators’ revenues are at risk by 2028 – an impact that could amount to as much as €4 billion.
Deezer has also pointed to its own commissioned international study, which found that 97% of listeners couldn’t tell the difference between AI-generated and human-made music, and that 80% of people agree that fully AI-generated music should be clearly labeled.
