Deezer has said that artificial intelligence now accounts for almost half of the music being uploaded to its platform each day, underscoring how quickly machine-made tracks are moving from novelty to scale in the streaming business. In a statement published this week, the Paris-based service said it is now receiving about 75,000 AI-generated tracks daily, equal to 44% of all new uploads. That is a sharp rise from the 10,000-a-day level Deezer reported a little over a year ago, according to the company.

The growth in uploads has not translated into comparable listening demand. Deezer said AI-generated music still makes up only about 1% to 3% of total streams on the service. Even so, it has detected a heavier level of manipulation around those tracks, with roughly 85% of streams on fully AI-created songs identified as fraudulent and then demonetised. The company said the problem points to a new form of stream fraud built around synthetic music and automated listening.

Deezer says it is tagging fully AI-generated songs, removing them from algorithmic recommendations and excluding them from editorial playlists. The company said these measures are intended to improve transparency for listeners and protect artists’ royalty pools from being diluted by artificial content. It has also made its AI-detection technology available for licensing, a move that suggests it wants to position the tool as an industry standard rather than just an internal safeguard.

Alexis Lanternier, Deezer’s chief executive, said in the company’s announcement that AI-generated music is no longer a marginal issue and urged the wider music industry to help protect artists’ rights and make synthetic content clearer for fans. The figures add to a growing body of evidence that generative music tools are reshaping the economics of streaming even before listeners have fully embraced the output.
