Deezer detects 44% AI-generated music

Music streaming platform Deezer has reported that 44% of new music uploads are AI-generated, according to Ars Technica. This surge in AI-generated music is forcing streaming platforms to reevaluate their content moderation policies. Deezer uses its own detection technology to identify AI-generated tracks, and plans to license this technology to the broader music industry, as stated in The Decoder.

The implications of this trend are significant for music streaming tools like Spotify, Apple Music, and TikTok, which will need to adapt their algorithms and moderation policies to address the influx of AI-generated content. For users of these platforms, the experience may change as well, with potential shifts in music discovery and recommendation features.

Moreover, the fact that most AI-generated music streams are deemed fraudulent and demonetized raises questions about the role of AI in the music industry. As AI music generation tools like Amper Music and AIVA continue to improve, the lines between human and AI-generated music will become increasingly blurred, posing challenges for streaming platforms, artists, and consumers alike.
