Deezer launches cross-platform AI music detector
Deezer has published a free cross-platform tool that scans user accounts and playlists for AI-generated music. The company says 43% of users who switch from other services to Deezer have AI tracks in their playlists, often unknowingly. Deezer reports being flooded with roughly 75,000 AI-generated tracks per day (over two million per month) and estimates about 44% of new releases are AI-generated. The detector is compatible with 20 apps (including Spotify, Apple Music, Soundcloud and YouTube Music), supports 27 languages, and lets users share analysis results; it does not, however, mark which individual songs are AI-generated. Deezer has previously filed patents for detection technology and actively removes or demonetizes suspected AI tracks from recommendations and editorial playlists.
A major streaming platform launched a cross-platform detection tool and reiterated aggressive moderation and demonetization of AI-generated music; this affects content moderation, rights monetization and platform policies across music streaming services.

Deezer launches tool to detect AI-generated songs
Deezer has released a free cross-platform AI music detector that lets users scan playlists on 20 apps (including Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud and YouTube Music) to check for AI-generated tracks. The detector supports 27 languages and can connect to a user’s account to analyse and share results, but it does not reveal which specific songs are flagged. Deezer says it removes AI-generated music from recommendations and editorial playlists, reports being flooded with nearly 75,000 AI titles daily (~2 million monthly), and claims around 85% of flagged AI tracks can be demonetized as fraudulent. Deezer filed two patents for its detection technology in December 2024 and cites studies showing many listeners cannot reliably identify AI music and want clearer labelling.
Deezer: 44% of Daily Uploads Are AI-Generated
Deezer announced that AI-generated tracks now make up 44% of all new music uploaded to its platform, receiving roughly 75,000 AI tracks per day (over 2 million per month). Consumption of AI music on Deezer remains low (1–3% of total streams), and the company says 85% of those AI-track streams are identified as fraudulent and are demonetized. Deezer has been tagging AI content at platform level since June 2025, removed tagged songs from algorithmic recommendations and editorial playlists, and will stop storing hi-res versions of AI tracks. The company cited survey results showing listeners struggle to tell AI from human-made music and urged industry action; other services (Qobuz, Spotify, Apple Music) are taking varied approaches.
Deezer: Over 50% of Daily Uploads Are AI-Generated
Deezer reports that AI-generated music now makes up more than half of daily uploads to its platform, with a peak in June 2026 averaging 90,000 AI tracks per day. The company plans to remove AI-generated tracks that haven't been streamed in the past six months or that are linked to fraudulent streaming. Deezer has been tracking AI music growth since 2025, deployed labeling and detection technology (capable of identifying outputs from Suno and Udio), and has made its detection tools available to other platforms.
