Deezer Launches Tool to Detect AI-Generated Music

Now, it is possible that Deezer will look for AI-generated music in your playlists on other streaming services. The first major streaming service to begin categorizing music created by artificial intelligence was Deezer. It even made its technology available to other platforms, although it doesn’t appear to have many customers. Apple and Spotify have chosen to use a voluntary tagging system, while Qobuz has introduced its own detecting technology.

The concerns about how AI businesses use copyrighted content to train their models and how possible manipulations in streaming systems could result in fraud are developing as the popularity of AI-generated music on streaming services continues to increase.

However, AI music identification capabilities have not yet been released by many music streaming providers. Deezer, a streamer, has decided to take issues into their own hands.

In a news statement, Deezer CEO Alexis Lanternier stated, “We decided to make it possible for everyone to check if their playlists include synthetic music, no matter which streaming platform they use, because no other company has followed our lead yet.” Deezer is making their AI detection technology available to everyone because no one is accepting their offer to license it.

Deezer released a tool that looks for AI-generated music in playlists from different streaming services as part of their ongoing efforts to address this problem. This free online AI music detector, which was released on Thursday, allows users from 20 of the most popular platforms to check if any songs in their playlists are AI-generated. It supports 27 languages.

Deezer is now positioned as one of the music industry’s fiercest opponents of AI music thanks to the introduction, which may attract customers to its service. While competitors such as Apple Music and Spotify have chosen a tagging strategy, Deezer deliberately eliminates AI tunes from editorial playlists and removes them from recommendations. Additionally, it just started providing competing platforms with its AI detection technologies.

Users can visit Deezer’s AI music detector website, choose your streaming provider, and give Deezer access to your playlists in order to utilize the new feature. The service searches for AI material when you import your playlists, alerts you to any results, and even lets you share them. Among other platforms, the application works with SoundCloud, YouTube Music, Apple Music, and Spotify.

Then, if users are moving from a rival service like Spotify, Deezer will transfer your playlists using what appears to be Tune My Music, which the company already utilizes to import your collection. After that, Deezer will look for AI material in the results, notify you of any hits, and allow you to share the results.

Over the past year and a half, Deezer has been leading the way in music streaming transparency by identifying and labeling AI-generated music. CEO Alexis Lanternier in a statement, said they have decided to make it possible for everyone to check if their playlists include synthetic music, regardless of the streaming platform they use, since no other company has followed our lead yet.”

It is worth noting that the firm stated in today’s release that it is carefully thinking about what to do in the future, such as changing supplier regulations or deleting information. This would be similar to Bandcamp’s decision earlier this year to outlaw AI music. 

Following Deezer’s revelation that an astounding 44% of all new music submitted to its platform is AI-generated, the new tool was released.

Nearly 75,000 AI-generated tracks are already being sent to the company every day, for a monthly total of over two million. AI-generated music still only makes about 1% to 3% of all streaming, despite this increase in popularity. The platform declares over 85% of these feeds to be fake and demonetizes them.
