What’s the story<\/span><\/p>\n

Deezer, a leading global music streaming platform, has reported that nearly 44% of the new tracks uploaded to its service are AI<\/a>-generated.
\nThe company receives nearly 75,000 such tracks every day and over two million every month.
\nDespite this massive influx, consumption of these synthetic tunes remains low at just 1-3% of total streams.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\n

AI tracks on the rise<\/h3>\n

Deezer’s AI detection tool, which has been monitoring such content since 2025, has flagged over 13.4 million tracks as AI-generated.
\n However, a large chunk of these streams are identified as fraudulent and demonetized by the platform.
\n In fact, a recent study by CISAC and PMP Strategy warns that nearly 25% of creators’ revenues could be at risk by 2028 due to this trend.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Musician made $10M in royalties using bots to stream songs<\/h3>\n

Fraudulent actors are increasingly flooding platforms with millions of AI-generated songs and streaming each one just enough times to earn revenue.
\n This practice has been used by musicians like North Carolina-based Michael Smith, who reportedly made nearly $10 million in royalty payments across various streaming platforms using this method.
\n Smith uploaded thousands of AI-generated tracks and deployed bots to stream them repeatedly in small increments.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

Impact on genuine artists and Deezer’s response<\/h3>\n

The use of bots to manipulate play counts has a major impact on platform recommendation algorithms, making it harder for genuine artists to gain visibility.
\n Over time, these bot-driven streams also distort consumer data, which artists increasingly rely on to plan tours, releases, and marketing strategies.
\n To combat this issue and protect genuine creators, Deezer has introduced a new artist-centric remuneration model aimed at tackling fraud.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

New remuneration model to tackle streaming fraud<\/h3>\n

Deezer’s new remuneration model caps streams from individual users at 1,000 to prevent bots from artificially inflating streams for financial gain.
\n If a single user exceeds this limit, the royalties generated for the artist are significantly reduced.
\n This system could play a crucial role in protecting artists by limiting the impact of fraudulent practices that distort revenue distribution on music streaming platforms.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n
