Concerns about how AI businesses use copyrighted content to train their models and how potential manipulations in streaming systems could lead to fraud are growing as the popularity of AI-generated music on streaming services continues.
Many music streaming providers have not yet introduced AI music recognition techniques, nevertheless. Deezer, a streamer, has decided to take matters into its own hands.
Deezer launched a tool that looks for AI-generated music in playlists from other streaming services as part of an ongoing effort to address this problem. This free online AI music detector, which was released on Thursday, allows users from 20 of the most well-known platforms to check if their playlists contain any AI-generated music in 27 different languages.
The initiative further establishes Deezer as one of the music industry’s fiercest opponents of AI music, which may attract customers to its service. Deezer explicitly eliminates AI tracks from recommendations and keeps them out of editorial playlists, while competitors like Apple Music and Spotify have chosen to use tagging. Additionally, it just started supplying competing platforms with its AI detection technologies.
Visit Deezer’s AI music detector website, choose your streaming provider, and grant Deezer access to your playlists to utilize the new feature. After you upload your playlists, the service looks for AI content, lets you know what it finds, and even lets you share the results. Among other services, Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, and YouTube Music are all compatible with the tool.
Over the past year and a half, Deezer has been at the forefront of music streaming transparency by identifying and labeling AI-generated music. CEO Alexis Lanternier stated in a statement, “We decided to make it possible for everyone to check if their playlists include synthetic music, regardless of which streaming platform they use, since no other company has followed our lead yet.”
In today’s notice, the business notably disclosed that it is carefully evaluating further actions, such as modifying supplier policies or deleting information. This would be similar to Bandcamp’s earlier this year prohibition on AI music.
The new tool’s release follows Deezer’s revelation that an astounding 44% of all newly uploaded music on its platform is AI-generated.
Currently, the company receives about 75,000 AI-generated tracks per day, for a monthly total of more than two million. Even with this increase, just 1-3% of all streams are AI-generated music. The platform demonetizes about 85% of these feeds after identifying them as bogus.
