French music streaming service Deezer says nearly half of all new tracks uploaded to its platform are now generated by AI.
The update, released this week, shows the platform is receiving close to 75,000 AI-generated songs every day – about 44% of total daily uploads – equating to more than two million tracks each month.
That marks a big jump from April last year, when Deezer reported just 18% of daily uploads – around 20,000 tracks – were fully AI-generated, already up from 10% at the start of 2025.
Despite the surge in supply, listener demand remains low. Deezer says AI tracks account for just 1–3% of total streams on the platform, with as much as 85% of those plays flagged as fraudulent and subsequently demonetised.
Deezer claims it is one of the only streaming platforms to clearly label fully AI-generated music.
The platform excludes these tracks from algorithmic recommendations and editorial playlists. It has also stopped storing high-resolution versions of them.
Deezer CEO Alexis Lanternier (pictured) warned that AI music is no longer a fringe trend, calling on the broader industry to act.
“AI-generated music is now far from marginal… we hope the whole ecosystem will join us to safeguard artists’ rights and promote transparency,” he said.
Deezer’s detection tools, launched in early 2025, have tracked rapid growth in synthetic uploads, rising from 10,000 tracks per day to today’s 75,000.
The company is now licensing that technology to other players, as concerns mount over revenue dilution and fraud. Industry estimates suggest up to 25% of creators’ income could be at risk by 2028 due to AI.
A recent Deezer survey also found 97% of listeners struggle to distinguish AI music from human-made tracks, reinforcing calls for clearer labelling.
