Overview
- Deezer, which disclosed the figures Monday, says nearly 75,000 AI-made tracks now hit its platform each day, topping two million a month and accounting for 44% of new uploads.
- AI songs draw only 1% to 3% of total listening on Deezer, and the company says about 85% of those plays are artificial and get demonetized for fraud.
- Deezer tags AI tracks, removes them from algorithmic recommendations and editorial playlists, and has stopped storing high‑resolution versions of AI files.
- The platform’s patent‑pending detector launched in January 2025, has flagged over 13.4 million AI tracks, can spot output from tools like Suno and Udio, and is now licensed to other companies.
- Recent prosecutions tied to bot‑driven schemes using AI music to inflate streams into millions of dollars in royalties highlight the abuse Deezer says its controls aim to curb.
