Overview

  • Albums containing any AI-generated song will carry an on-screen “AI-generated content” label to alert listeners.
  • Fully AI-created music accounted for roughly 18 percent of new uploads at Deezer, up from 10 percent three months earlier.
  • Deezer estimates that up to 70 percent of AI track plays come from automated streaming farms and will withhold royalties on those manipulated streams.
  • The platform uses the same generative AI models that create songs to analyze audio patterns and identify synthetic content.
  • Major record labels have filed copyright infringement lawsuits against AI music tools like Suno and Udio for using artists’ work without authorization.
