In what it called a global first, French streaming service Deezer told AFP on Friday that it is now alerting users when they discover music that has been identified as entirely produced by artificial intelligence.
A torrent of AI-generated tracks is being uploaded daily, according to Deezer’s chief executive Alexis Lanternier’s announcement, which comes in response to repeated statements from the platform from Swedish streaming service Spotify.
Deezer reported in January that it was adding 10, 000 AI tracks per day, up from the previous month’s figure of about 18, 000 in an April statement.

According to Lanternier, the company “wants to make sure that tracks created from a quick text prompt inserted into a music generator like Suno or Udio aren’t being taken away” from artists.
Deezer’s library does not contain any AI tracks, but instead they are demonetized to prevent unfairly lowering the royalties of human musicians.
A notice stating “content generated by AI” is now displayed on albums containing tracks that Deezer claims are a streaming service’s first-ever global flagging feature.
Lanternier claimed that Deezer’s patented detection system was 99 percent capable of identifying AI provenance markers.
An audio signal is a complex collection of information, according to Wikipedia. We can identify the little sounds that only they make when AI algorithms create new songs, he said.
It is visible in the audio signal but not audible to the human ear.

Deezer is a relative savior when compared to Spotify, which has 268 million subscribers and 9.7 million worldwide, the majority of whom are in France.
With Universal Music Group, the biggest label in the world, signed a deal in January that would better reward artists and other rights holders.
However, Spotify has not yet demonetized AI content like Deezer.
