Deezer has launched a free online tool that scans playlists across 20 major streaming platforms and flags AI-generated tracks. Available in 27 languages, the AI music detector is accessible at deezer.com/explore/ai-music-detector/ and represents the latest step in the company’s push to bring transparency to streaming amid a sharp rise in machine-made music.
The scale of the problem is significant. Deezer reports receiving around 75,000 AI-generated tracks per day, a figure that represents 44% of all daily deliveries to the platform. In 2025, it detected and tagged 13.4 million AI tracks. Of the streams those tracks received, 85% were found to be fraudulent.
Why Deezer built this
Deezer was the first major streaming platform to begin tagging AI-generated music at scale, a process it started in June 2025. Since then, the company has excluded AI tracks from its algorithmic recommendations and editorial playlists.
The decision to make its detection tool publicly available comes partly in response to how widespread AI music has become. According to Deezer, 43% of users who migrate from other streaming services already have AI-generated tracks sitting in their playlists, often without knowing it.
Listener survey results
Deezer released its detector alongside new research conducted by Ipsos across 9,000 people in eight countries. The findings reinforce just how difficult it is to spot AI music by ear: 97% of respondents could not identify AI-generated tracks in a blind test.
That said, listeners have firm opinions about what should happen next. Eighty per cent said they want AI music labelled clearly, and 73% said they expect streaming platforms to do the tagging themselves. The data reflects a wider listener concern about the role of AI music generators in the current streaming ecosystem.
CEO Alexis Lanternier said the tool demonstrates the platform’s commitment to transparency for both fans and artists.
A commercial licensing play
Beyond the consumer-facing tool, Deezer is now licensing its AI detection technology to other companies. The platform filed two patents covering the detection method in December 2024.
As the debate around AI music and copyright continues to develop across the industry, tools that can accurately identify machine-generated content are likely to become increasingly valuable.
Earlier this year, Spotify and Universal Music Group updated their stance on AI music, applying stricter rules around how it is handled on the platform. Deezer’s detector adds another layer to that conversation.
