Deezer built a tool to call out AI music — even on rival streaming platforms

Deezer launched a free AI music detection tool that scans playlists on its platform and competitors like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and SoundCloud to identify AI-generated tracks. The tool detects unique audio signals in AI music, with Deezer reporting 44% of new tracks uploaded to its platform are AI-generated but receive minimal streams. The company aims to promote transparency in the music industry as AI-generated content faces declining consumer interest and suspected fraudulent activity.
