"Deezer has confirmed today (Jan. 29) it is demonetizing up to 85% of streams associated with fully AI-generated music after identifying widespread fraudulent activity, while also announcing plans to commercialize its proprietary AI-detection technology for the broader music industry. The move underscores growing concerns about AI's impact on streaming economics, artist compensation, and the integrity of digital music platforms."
"The Paris-based streaming service said it detected more than 13.4 million AI-generated tracks on its platform in 2025 alone, with uploads now averaging more than 60,000 AI-created songs per day. That depressing figure represents roughly 39% of all daily music deliveries to Deezer, highlighting how rapidly generative music tools are reshaping the supply side of streaming. Despite the surge in uploads, Deezer said AI-generated music still accounts for a relatively small share of total listening on the platform, between 1% and 3% of overall streams."
Deezer will demonetize up to 85% of streams associated with fully AI-generated music and plans to commercialize its proprietary AI-detection technology for the wider music industry. The platform detected more than 13.4 million AI-generated tracks in 2025, with uploads averaging over 60,000 AI-created songs per day, representing roughly 39% of daily music deliveries. AI-created music accounts for only 1–3% of total listening, but analysis indicates most of those streams are fraudulent. Streaming fraud across Deezer's entire catalog measured about 8% of streams. The initiative aims to protect artist and songwriter rights and increase transparency for listeners.
