View original source

Deezer, a leading music streaming service, has launched an AI music detection tool to address rising concerns about AI-generated music on streaming platforms and the potential misuse of copyrighted material.

  • AI Music Concerns: There is growing anxiety over AI companies using copyrighted music for training their models and possible manipulations in streaming that could facilitate fraud.
  • Tool Launch: Announced on Thursday, Deezer’s free online AI music detector can identify AI-generated tracks in playlists from 20 top streaming platforms, supporting 27 languages.
  • Industry Position: Deezer distinguishes itself from competitors like Apple Music and Spotify by actively removing AI tracks from recommendations and playlists, further offering its detection tech to competitors.
  • Functionality: Users can utilize Deezer’s tool by allowing playlist access, after which the tool scans for AI music and notifies users, even allowing result sharing.
  • CEO Statement: Alexis Lanternier expresses Deezer's commitment to transparency in music streaming and indicates potential future actions, such as updating supplier policies, drawing parallels with Bandcamp’s earlier ban on AI music.
  • Current Statistics: Deezer reveals 44% of its daily uploads are AI-generated, yet these tracks constitute only 1-3% of streams, with 85% of them flagged as fraudulent.
