\n\tF<\/span>or the last few years, music listening platforms have struggled to figure out how they should deal with AI music flooding onto their services \u2014 and French streamer Deezer has claimed the problem is quickly mounting. In January 2025, the service reported that 10% of daily uploads<\/a> to the platform were now fully AI-generated; by its latest report in April, that figure had jumped to 44%<\/a>, or 75,000 AI songs a day \u2014 not counting AI-assisted works. Still, as Spotify\u2019s global head of policy, music business, Sam Duboff<\/strong>, previously told Billboard, it\u2019s \u201cstill early days\u201d for AI music, making policy decisions a significant challenge. UMG is still suing Anthropic<\/a> and Suno for copyright infringement, and Sony is still pursuing lawsuits against Suno (alongside UMG) and Udio. Still, depending on who you ask, it\u2019s unclear who is responsible for quelling the flood of AI content \u2014 or if, in the future, the flood will be considered a problem at all after the music lawsuits resolve and consumers potentially warm up to AI use.<\/p>\n \n\tIn the last year, a number of listening platforms have taken action despite the uncertainty ahead. Deezer was first last year, announcing automated tags for AI content and the removal of that content from algorithmic and editorial recommendations. In November, iHeartRadio became the first radio company to ban AI-generated content<\/a> from its airwaves, and Bandcamp followed in January as the first online music platform to ban music<\/a> made \u201cwholly or in substantial part\u201d by AI. The biggest players, Spotify and Apple Music, have been more tempered. Apple Music boss Oliver Schusser<\/strong>, for example, has told Billboard<\/a> he \u201creally need[s] content providers and the labels to take responsibility,\u201d launching a tool for those providers to disclose AI use<\/a>.<\/p>\n \n\tMeanwhile, Spotify has spent the spring focused on quelling the negative consequences of AI music (streaming fraud, deepfakes, spam), while also warming up to the technology for creative uses. The platform has launched Artist Profile Protection<\/a> to prevent deepfakes from getting on human artist pages, as well as verification badges<\/a> and AI credits<\/a>. And on the company\u2019s Investor Day in May, it shocked the music industry by announcing a new licensing deal<\/a> with UMG for a forthcoming AI music remixing tool, allowing fans to remix participating artists\u2019 works on the service. \u2014 Kristin Robinson<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.billboard.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" For the last few years, music listening platforms have struggled to figure out how they should deal with AI music flooding onto their services \u2014 and French streamer Deezer has claimed the problem is quickly mounting.
