97% of Listeners Can't Tell AI Music from Human-Made
A survey of 9,000 listeners across eight countries found 97% could not identify AI-generated music as distinct from human tracks, raising concerns over creativity and royalties.
- On November 12, Deezer released a survey showing 'Ninety-seven percent could not distinguish between music entirely generated by AI and human-created music' among 9,000 respondents, said Deezer.
- Between October 6 and 10, Ipsos asked 9,000 respondents across eight countries to compare two AI clips and one human clip, according to Deezer.
- From one in 10 to one in three daily streams, AI music climbed to nearly 40,000 per day, while The Velvet Sundown, AI band, went viral on Spotify with over three million streams.
- Eighty percent of survey respondents demanded fully AI-generated music be clearly labelled, while more than half felt uncomfortable not distinguishing it and 51 percent feared more low-quality music on streaming platforms.
- Spotify said it will encourage a voluntary disclosure code while Deezer uniquely labels fully AI-generated tracks and Breaking Rust topped Billboard magazine's digital country sales chart Monday.
