Deezer says artificial intelligence is now reshaping its catalogue at speed, with AI-generated tracks accounting for 44% of all new music uploaded to the platform each day. That works out at close to 75,000 songs a day, according to figures released by the French streaming service, which has been tagging synthetic music since January 2025.

The company’s latest data suggests the surge in AI-made tracks has not translated into a comparable rise in listening. Deezer says those songs make up only 1% to 3% of total streams on the platform, and that 85% of the plays they do receive are fraudulent and therefore removed from monetisation. TechCrunch, reporting on Deezer’s announcement, said the company is positioning its detection system as a wider industry tool in an attempt to improve transparency and limit abuse.

Deezer’s stance marks the latest step in a campaign it began early last year, when it first disclosed that about 10% of daily uploads were fully generated by AI. The figure later rose to 18% in April 2025 and to 34% by November, before reaching the current level, according to the company’s own disclosures. In January 2026, Deezer said it had already detected and labelled more than 13.4 million AI tracks during 2025, and that daily AI uploads were averaging around 60,000 at that time.

Alexis Lanternier, Deezer’s chief executive, said in a statement that the wider music sector should join efforts to protect artists’ rights. The company has also said it has filed patents for its detection technology and is now licensing the system to other players in the market, presenting the move as a bid to set an industry standard as generative AI becomes increasingly common in music production.
