60,000 AI tracks hit Deezer daily as platform moves to license detection tech to wider music industry
Deezer is now receiving over 60,000 fully AI-generated tracks every day – and is moving to license its AI-detection technology to the wider music industry.
The Paris-headquartered streaming service revealed the new figures today (January 29), confirming that synthetic content now accounts for roughly 39% of all music delivered to the platform daily.
The 60,000 figure marks another significant jump from the 50,000 tracks Deezer reported in November, the 30,000 in September, and the 10,000 it disclosed when it first launched its AI detection tool in January 2025.
A year on from that launch, Deezer says it has detected and tagged over 13.4 million AI-generated tracks on its platform – and is now making its detection technology commercially available.
The company says it has already performed successful tests with industry partners including French collecting society Sacem.
“We’ve seen a great interest in both our approach and our tool,” said Alexis Lanternier, CEO, Deezer.
“From now on, we are licensing the tech to make it widely available. Deezer continues to lead the way in promoting a transparent experience for artists and fans, with a commitment to fight AI-music fraud across our industry.”
Deezer also revealed that up to 85% of all streams on AI-generated music were fraudulent in 2025 – up from the 70% figure it reported last year. Those streams are demonetized and removed from the royalty pool.
By comparison, streaming fraud across Deezer’s entire catalog accounted for 8% of all streams in 2025.
While AI-generated music currently makes up only a small share of total streams on Deezer ( up to 3%), the platform maintains that generating fake streams remains the primary purpose for uploading such content.
“We know that the majority of AI-music is uploaded to Deezer with the purpose of committing fraud, and we continue to take action.”

“Music generated entirely by AI has become nearly indistinguishable from human creation, and with a continuous flood of uploads to streaming platforms, our approach remains crystal clear: transparency for fans and protecting the rights of artists and songwriters,” said Lanternier.
“We know that the majority of AI-music is uploaded to Deezer with the purpose of committing fraud, and we continue to take action.
“We detect and tag AI-generated music and remove it from algorithmic recommendations, so that our users have a clear choice regarding what to listen to, while making it harder for fraudsters to game the system.”
Deezer noted that it’s the only music streaming platform to explicitly tag and exclude AI-generated music from algorithmic recommendations and editorial playlists.
The company claims that its AI detection tool can identify 100% AI-generated music from generative models such as Suno and Udio, with the capability to add detection for other tools.
Deezer says it has also made progress in creating a system with increased generalizability, capable of detecting AI-generated content without a specific dataset to train on.
In December 2024, Deezer applied for two patents for its AI Detection technology, focused on methods of detecting unique signatures that distinguish synthetic content from human-made music.
The announcement comes amid growing concerns about AI’s impact on creator revenues.
According to a study conducted by CISAC and PMP Strategy, nearly 25% of creators’ revenues are at risk by 2028 – amounting to as much as €4 billion.
