Deezer announced On Friday, he will start labeling albums, which contain songs generated by AI as part of their efforts to combat stream fraud.
The company informs that about 18% of music sent every day-20,000 songs-are now fully generated AI. Although most of these songs do not become viral, Deezer claims that about 70% of their streams are false and that they have fraudulent earning tant.
To fight this, the paths generated by AI to Deezer are now clearly marked. These songs will also not appear on editorial playback lists or algorithm based on the algorithm, and the fraudulent streams are filtered from license fees.
The company claims that the new labels change into the game, helping listeners to determine the difference between music created by people and the content of AI.
Deezer notes that for now AI songs constitute only 0.5% of all streams on their platform, but this trend is growing rapidly.
“We have detected a significant increase in the supply of music generated by AI only in the last few months and we do not see any signs of slowing down. This is a problem in the industry, and we are obliged to conduct transparency, helping fans of music in identifying, which albums include AI music,” Press message.
“AI is not of good or evil by nature, but we think that a responsible and transparent approach is the key to building trust with our users and the music industry,” he continued. “We are also clear in our obligation to protect the rights of artists and authors of texts at a time when copyright is questioned in favor of training AI models.”
Deezer applied for two patents in December 2024. In the case of artificial intelligence detection technology, which, he says, focuses on two different ways of detecting “unique signatures” that are used to distinguish synthetic content from authentic content.
This movement appears as the Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment, apparently talk about the license of their work on startups AI Udio and Suno. Startups are sued by record companies for a violation of copyright, and each contract would help to settle the lawsuits between them, Bloomberg Reported at the beginning of this month.
