Deezer did the accounts: Each day, more than 20,000 titles are fully generated by AI online on the platform, or 18 % of the songs. A brilliant progression that will not stop there.
Thanks to a new tool for detecting pieces deployed by AI at the beginning of the year, Deezer is able to sort the good grain (the “normal” songs) of the chaff (the songs generated by AI). This filter does not prevent the online of AI songs from being placed online, but it excludes them from algorithmic recommendations, the famous personal suggestions.
No songs in the playlist
Therefore, these songs should not listen much. Nevertheless, they are present in the catalog and are increasingly in place. 20,000 of them are limited to the platform every day, a four -month volume, Aurélien Hérault, the technical director of the service, revealed. “ The content generated by AI », He confirms to Reuters.

Deezer’s tracking tool makes it more specifically possible to detect the pieces generated with the tools of Suno and Udio, two leading startups in the sector.

The artists regularly condemn Generative AI harmed And training models with their works, but without their consent.
