Deezer Receives 60,000 Fully AI-Generated Tracks Every Day
Plus: the platform is making its AI detection tool available to the wider industry
France-headquartered streaming platform Deezer has announced it is receiving more than 60,000 fully AI-generated tracks every day, up from 50,000 in November. This equates to roughly 39% of Deezer’s total daily intake.
Why it matters:
Generating fake streams is the primary purpose for uploading AI-generated music.
Deezer says only 3% of the total streams on the service come from AI-generated tracks (up from 0.5% in September), but up to 85% of these streams in 2025 were fraudulent.
This means they were generated by a bot as opposed to a human, as a way of siphoning money from the royalties pool.
The platform’s AI detection tool detected 13.4 million AI-tracks on its service in 2025, tagging them as such and removing them from recommendations.
AI detection tool:
Deezer’s AI detection tool can detect 100% AI-generated music from models such as Suno and Udio.
The streaming service is now licensing its AI-detection technology to the wider music industry, and claims to have “performed successful tests with industry leaders, including Sacem.”
What they said:
Alexis Lanternier, CEO, Deezer: “We know that the majority of AI-music is uploaded to Deezer with the purpose of committing fraud, and we continue to take action. We detect and tag AI-generated music and remove it from algorithmic recommendations, so that our users have a clear choice regarding what to listen to, while making it harder for fraudsters to game the system. And of course, every fraudulent stream that we detect is demonetized so that the royalties of human artists, songwriters and other rights owners are not affected.”
