Deezer launches free AI music detector for users of major streaming platforms

French music platform Deezer has launched a free online tool to detect AI-generated tracks in playlists, available to users of all major streaming platforms, it said on Thursday.

The company is also licensing its AI-detection technology to the wider ‌music industry, ⁠building ⁠on earlier deals like the one it signed with France's royalty ​agency Sacem in January.

The free detector allows users of around 20 of the most common streaming platforms to scan their playlists for synthetic music


Company data shows ​that 43% of users joining Deezer ⁠from rival ‌services already have AI-generated music in ​their playlists

​On its own platform, Deezer tags AI-generated ⁠songs and automatically removes them from algorithmic ​recommendations and editorial playlists

"This is a first step in making sure that these tracks don't dilute the royalty pool in any significant way," Deezer said

It cited a 2024 Cisac study that showed 25% of artists' revenue, or €4 billion ($4.6 billion) per ‌year, could be at risk of being siphoned off by AI-generated songs by 2028

​Deezer receives ​nearly 75,000 AI-generated ⁠tracks daily, making up more than 44% of its new music delivery, up from 60,000 tracks reported in early ​2025

A recent Deezer and Ipsos survey found that 80% of respondents wanted AI-generated music to be clearly labelled on streaming platforms
