Deezer Launches AI Music Detection Tool to Combat Copyright Infringement and Streaming Fraud

As AI-generated music becomes more prevalent on streaming platforms, growing concerns have emerged around how artificial intelligence companies use copyrighted material to train their models, and how streaming systems might be manipulated for fraudulent gain. Yet, many streaming services have yet to implement AI music detection tools. In response, Deezer has taken action on its own.

In its ongoing efforts to address the issue, Deezer has launched a tool that scans playlists from multiple streaming platforms to identify AI-generated tracks. Announced on Thursday, this free online AI music detector supports 27 languages and allows users from 20 of the most popular streaming services to check whether their playlists contain any synthetic songs. This move further solidifies Deezer’s position as one of the music industry’s most vocal opponents of AI-generated music, potentially serving as a key selling point for consumers.

While competitors like Apple Music and Spotify have opted for a tagging approach, Deezer actively removes AI tracks from recommendations and excludes them from editorial playlists. The company has also recently begun offering its AI detection technology to rival platforms.

To use the new tool, visit Deezer’s AI music detector website, select your streaming service, and grant Deezer access to your playlists. After importing your playlists, the service scans for AI content, alerts you to any findings, and offers the option to share the results. The tool is compatible with Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, and YouTube Music, among others.

“By detecting and tagging AI-generated music over the past year and a half, Deezer has been at the forefront of transparency in music streaming. No other company has followed our lead yet, so we decided to make it possible for everyone to check if their playlists include synthetic music, no matter which streaming platform they use,” CEO Alexis Lanternier said in a statement.

Notably, the company revealed in Thursday’s announcement that it is carefully considering future steps, such as updating supplier policies or removing content. This would follow in the footsteps of Bandcamp, which banned AI music earlier this year.

The launch of the new tool comes on the heels of Deezer revealing that a staggering 44% of all new music uploaded to its platform is AI-generated. The company is currently being flooded with nearly 75,000 AI-generated tracks daily, totaling over two million each month. Despite this influx, the listening rate for AI-generated music remains relatively low, accounting for just 1–3% of total streams. Around 85% of these streams are flagged as fraudulent and are demonetized by the platform.
