Deezer is now extending access to its advanced AI song-detection technology, making it available for other businesses to acquire and integrate. This sophisticated tool, designed to identify, tag, and consequently remove AI-generated music from algorithmic recommendations, was announced as commercially available on Wednesday.
Since its launch last year, Deezer has leveraged this proprietary system as a crucial defense against what it describes as "fraudulent actors stealing royalties from real artists through mass produced AI-generated music." The company reports that its tool has successfully identified and flagged over 13.4 million AI tracks in 2025 alone, even as the volume of AI-generated content continues its rapid ascent. Deezer proudly asserts a 99.8 percent accuracy rate for its detection capabilities.
The scale of the challenge is evident in Deezer's data, which indicates that the platform now receives more than 60,000 AI tracks uploaded daily, comprising a significant 39 percent of all new uploads. This figure represents a substantial doubling from the approximately 30,000 daily AI track uploads reported in September 2025. Furthermore, Deezer's analysis reveals that up to 85 percent of the AI-generated music streams identified in 2025 were deemed "fraudulent," starkly contrasting with 8 percent of all streams during the same period.
Addressing the severity of the issue, Deezer CEO Alexis Lanternier stated in the press release, "We know that the majority of AI-music is uploaded to Deezer with the purpose of committing fraud, and we continue to take action." He further emphasized the company's commitment to protecting artists, adding, "Every fraudulent stream that we detect is demonetized so that the royalties of human artists, songwriters and other rights owners are not affected."
As AI-powered music creation platforms like Suno and Udio make it increasingly challenging to distinguish between human and machine-generated content, music streaming services are actively implementing measures to ensure transparency for listeners. Spotify, for instance, initiated new policies last year to tackle AI music and impersonation, concurrently developing a new metadata standard for disclosing AI usage. In a more stringent approach, Bandcamp has opted to completely ban AI-generated content from its platform.
