AI Music Uploads Rival Human Creations on Deezer
▼ Summary
– Deezer receives nearly 75,000 AI-generated song submissions daily, which is about 44% of all new uploads.
– Despite the high upload volume, AI songs account for only 1 to 3 percent of total streams on the platform.
– The platform removes AI-generated music from its recommendation algorithm to limit its reach.
– Deezer tags AI-generated tracks, claiming it is the only music streaming service currently doing so.
– The service demonetizes AI-generated songs and has stopped paying out for them.
The sheer volume of artificial intelligence music being uploaded to streaming services has reached a startling new benchmark. Deezer now reports that roughly 75,000 AI-generated tracks are submitted to its platform every single day. This massive influx represents a staggering 44 percent of all new music uploaded daily, signaling a profound shift in how content is created. However, this quantity has not yet translated into comparable listener engagement. Deezer states that streams of these AI songs constitute only between 1 and 3 percent of total consumption on the service.
To manage this flood of synthetic content, the platform has implemented several key policies. It has developed an internal detection tool designed to identify AI-generated music, which it promotes as an emerging industry standard for content identification. Deezer claims it is currently the only major streaming service that systematically tags tracks created by artificial intelligence. Furthermore, the company actively demonetizes this content and excludes it from its core recommendation algorithms, a move aimed at preventing fraudulent uploads from gaming the system for royalties. This approach highlights the ongoing challenge platforms face in balancing open upload policies with maintaining quality and fair compensation for human artists.
