Music streaming service adds tags to AI-generated songs so listeners will know

Deezer
  • Deezer, a Paris-based music streaming service, announced it will begin flagging albums containing AI-generated songs to combat fraudulent royalty earnings.
  • The platform will display an "AI-generated content" warning, notifying listeners that some tracks were created with song generators.
  • Deezer reports that 18% of daily song uploads, approximately 20,000 tracks, are now fully AI-generated, a significant increase from 10% three months prior.
  • The company suspects fraud is the primary motive for these songs, estimating that 70% of AI song listens are by bots or streaming farms, and will cut off royalty payments for manipulated streams.
  • Deezer is using AI to detect these patterns, effectively "fighting AI with AI," amidst ongoing lawsuits by record labels against AI song generators for copyright infringement.
