US EditionMusic streaming service Deezer adds AI song tags in fight against fraud
FRANCE, JUN 20 – Deezer labels AI-generated music and filters fraudulent streams, revealing 18% of daily uploads are AI-made with 70% of those plays identified as fake, aiming to protect artists' royalties.
- On Friday, Deezer, the French music streaming platform, revealed plans to identify and mark albums containing AI-created tracks as part of its strategy to address fraudulent streaming activity.
- This move responds to a surge in AI-generated music uploads that now make up about 18% of daily new tracks, with up to 70% of AI streams being fraudulent.
- Deezer developed internal detection tools that flag AI-created tracks at upload, block royalty payments for manipulative streams, and reduce visibility in playlists and recommendations.
- CEO Alexis Lanternier emphasized that while AI itself is neutral, fostering trust requires a careful and open strategy, and director Thibault Roucou highlighted that fraudsters aim to exploit royalties for financial gain.
- The labeling initiative and detection technology suggest a growing industry effort to protect artists’ rights amid complex copyright challenges and rapid AI music growth.
