Qobuz Unveils AI Detection System “to Protect Artists and Listeners”

France-headquartered streaming and download platform Qobuz has launched a proprietary AI detection system that will identify and tag AI-created tracks on the platform across new releases and existing catalog.

What it means:

• Qobuz has started analyzing its catalog to identify and tag content that is 100% AI-generated.

• The tags will be rolling out across all Qobuz applications in the coming months.

• It already has tools in place to detect fraudulent uploads and reserves the right to refuse or remove such content.

Other AI measures:

• Qobuz recently released its AI Charter, establishing its AI policies.

• They include relying on human teams for editorial selections, while its Discover page excludes AI-generated tracks.

• Any fraudulent streams it detects are excluded from reports and royalty calculations.

What they said:

• Georges Fornay, Deputy CEO of Qobuz: “The hyperinflation of AI-generated content is creating distrust across the music industry. At Qobuz, music discovery remains guided by human passion, not algorithms optimized for volume. These new measures reinforce our commitment to guaranteeing fair artists’ visibility and compensation, giving listeners confidence that humans remain in control.”
