French music streaming service Deezer says nearly half of all new tracks uploaded to its platform are now generated by AI.<\/p>\n

The update, released this week, shows the platform is receiving close to 75,000 AI-generated songs every day \u2013 about 44% of total daily uploads \u2013 equating to more than two million tracks each month.<\/p>\n

That marks a big jump from April last year, when Deezer reported just 18% of daily uploads<\/a> \u2013 around 20,000 tracks \u2013 were fully AI-generated, already up from 10% at the start of 2025.<\/p>\n

Despite the surge in supply, listener demand remains low. Deezer says AI tracks account for just 1\u20133% of total streams on the platform, with as much as 85% of those plays flagged as fraudulent and subsequently demonetised.<\/p>\n

Deezer claims it is one of the only streaming platforms to clearly label fully AI-generated music.<\/p>\n

The platform excludes these tracks from algorithmic recommendations and editorial playlists. It has also stopped storing high-resolution versions of them.<\/p>\n

Deezer CEO Alexis Lanternier (pictured) warned that AI music is no longer a fringe trend, calling on the broader industry to act.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cAI-generated music is now far from marginal\u2026 we hope the whole ecosystem will join us to safeguard artists\u2019 rights and promote transparency,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Deezer\u2019s detection tools, launched in early 2025, have tracked rapid growth in synthetic uploads, rising from 10,000 tracks per day to today\u2019s 75,000.<\/p>\n

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\u2019 income could be at risk by 2028 due to AI.<\/p>\n

A recent Deezer survey also found 97% of listeners struggle to distinguish AI music from human-made tracks, reinforcing calls for clearer labelling.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"French music streaming service Deezer says nearly half of all new tracks uploaded to its platform are now…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":620417,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[64,63,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-620416","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620416","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=620416"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620416\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/620417"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=620416"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=620416"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=620416"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
