28% of music uploaded to Deezer is fully AI-generated, platform reveals
A new report shared by Deezer has revealed that 28% of music uploaded to the platform is fully AI-generated.
The France-based streaming service also revealed that 30,000 tracks created with AI are added to the platform every day, and that up to 70% of the plays for these tracks have been detected as fraudulent. Deezer says they filter these streams out of their metrics for royalty payments.
The figures shared by the company reveal a sharp increase from their last report on the matter. In January, they launched a new AI-detection tool after discovering that around 10,000 “fully AI-generated tracks” were being uploaded to the platform every day.
Outlining how they are combating AI uploads, Deezer CEO Alexis Lanternier said: “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.”

An IMS Business Report found earlier this year that 60 million people used AI to create music in 2024.
