Sony says the tracks imitate artists’ voices and likenesses without permission, as Deezer reports more than 90,000 fully AI-generated uploads daily.
- Sony Music requested the removal of more than 260,000 AI deepfake tracks from digital platforms, citing unauthorized use of artist voices and likenesses without permission.

- French streaming service Deezer reported more than 90,000 AI-generated tracks are uploaded daily, a figure that presumably exceeded 100,000 by July.
