Overview
- Deezer launched the web-based detector on Thursday to let users import playlists from roughly 20 streaming services and flag tracks its system identifies as fully AI-generated.
- To run a scan users grant Deezer access to their playlists or paste playlist links, after which the service imports tracks, searches for spectral artifacts tied to generative models, and returns a shareable report.
- Deezer says it is receiving nearly 75,000 fully AI-generated uploads per day, which it estimates is about 44% of new music deliveries, though the company’s figures and its 99.8% accuracy claim have not been independently verified in coverage.
- The company already tags AI tracks on its own platform and removes flagged songs from algorithmic recommendations and editorial playlists, and it is offering the same detection technology for licensing to partners such as rights societies and distributors.
- Deezer frames the launch as a consumer transparency feature and an industry safeguard because fully synthetic songs make up only 1–3% of streams yet, the company says, around 85% of those plays were linked to suspected fraudulent activity that can distort discovery and royalties.
