Deezer has shared a new tool to detect AI-generated music on its platform, revealing that around 10% of the tracks uploaded daily, which is approximately 10,000 songs, are created entirely by generative AI. If you ask us, we'd say it's not even that many because the notorious AI music generator Udio is capable of churning out nearly 900k tracks a day.
The France-based streaming service said its tool identifies music generated by models such as Suno and Udio, with the ability to adapt as new AI tools emerge."The new tool can detect artificially created music from a number of generative models such as Suno and Udio, with the possibility to add on detection capabilities for practically any other similar tool as long as there’s access to relevant data examples," the company explained in its statement. "Not only that, Deezer has made significant progress in creating a system with increased generalizability, to detect AI generated content without a specific dataset to train on."
According to Deezer, most of the daily delivery of AI tracks are never streamed on the platform, but they are however diluting the catalog and may be used for fraudulent activity. While Deezer does not plan to remove AI-generated tracks outright, it will label them as such and exclude them from algorithmic and editorial recommendations.
