Deezer reveals that nearly half of all new music uploads are AI-generated, yet listenership remains low, prompting calls for transparency and safeguarding artists\u2019 rights amid industry revenue predictions reaching 20% from generative AI by 2028.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
AI-generated music is now flooding Deezer\u2019s service, with the French streaming platform saying such tracks make up 44% of all new music uploaded each day, or close to 75,000 songs. That is a sharp rise from earlier this year, when Deezer said fully synthetic music accounted for 18% of daily uploads in April 2025 and about 28% by September, showing how quickly the category has expanded. Deezer has been tracking the trend with its detection tool, which it says was introduced in January 2025.<\/p>\n
The company says the growth is not yet being matched by listening habits. AI-generated music still represents only about 1% to 3% of total streams on the platform, while Deezer says roughly 85% of those plays are fraudulent and are being demonetised. In January, the company said it had already identified and tagged more than 13.4 million AI tracks in 2025, with daily uploads averaging around 60,000 at that point.<\/p>\n
Deezer has positioned itself as one of the more hard-line services on the issue. It says it excludes fully AI-generated tracks from recommendations and editorial playlists, and it has begun licensing its detection technology to other platforms. The company says the system can identify outputs from major generative music tools such as Suno and Udio, and can be adapted for other models if it has enough reference data.<\/p>\n
The stakes are widening beyond streaming volumes. Deezer has cited industry research from CISAC warning that generative AI music could account for around 20% of streaming revenues and 60% of music library revenues by 2028, with creators potentially losing \u20ac10 billion over five years. Deezer chief executive Alexis Lanternier said the trend was no longer marginal and urged the wider sector to act on transparency and artist rights. The company also says consumer sentiment is broadly in favour of labelling, with most listeners preferring AI tracks to be clearly identified or kept out of charts alongside human-made songs.<\/p>\n
