Deezer isn’t sitting idly by, though. They launched an advanced AI music detection tool in January 2025. This bad boy can spot 100% AI-generated tracks from popular models like Suno and Udio. Think of it like a bouncer at a loud club, kicking out those soulless creations to keep the vibe alive for real artists.
And they’re staying on top of their game by constantly expanding their detection capabilities. No bots allowed, thank you very much.
Recent studies show musician adoption rates indicate that 60% of artists now use AI as creative tools. But here’s the real kicker—while Deezer tries to maintain some semblance of quality, the industry is freaking out. Major AI systems are being sued for using copyrighted music to learn, raising eyebrows and sparking ethical debates.
Meanwhile, famous musicians like Billie Eilish and Stevie Wonder are throwing shade at AI music for diluting artistry. Are we really okay with machines emulating human creativity? It’s concerning that 18% of all new music uploaded to streaming is now fully AI-generated. With over 20,000 AI-generated tracks uploaded daily, the sheer volume is reshaping the musical landscape.
Just imagine—the tidal wave of AI tunes could cannibalize up to 24% of revenue for actual musicians by 2028. More machines, less revenue. Yikes.
Deezer even deleted 26 million “useless” tracks in 2023 while promoting an “artist-centric” payment model. This approach gives artists their dignity back, linking payments directly to audience engagement.
All in all, it’s a wild ride that leaves a lot of questions: Is AI the future, or is it just noise? Are real artists losing their spotlight?
Looks like we’re all keenly waiting to see how this musical saga unfolds.
