Deezer reports 28% of music received is fully AI-generated

The figures follow a huge uptick in AI-generated content on the platform during the year, with AI music making up 10% of all content in January, 18% in April, and now a record-breaking 28% in September. Despite this, Deezer remains firm on protecting the rights of artists and became the first, and so far only, streaming platform to tag AI-generated content and remove it from recommendations. 

“AI music now makes up a significant part of the daily track delivery to music streaming and we want to lead the way in minimizing any negative impact for artists and fans alike,” Deezer CEO Alexis Lanternier said in a press release, “Our approach is simple: we remove fully AI-generated content from algorithmic recommendations and we don’t include it in editorial playlists. This way, we ensure the impact on the royalty pool remains minimal, while providing a transparent user experience. And most importantly, we continue to fight fraudulent activity, which is the main driver behind uploading fully AI-generated content.”
