Deezer has introduced an AI music detector, a free online tool that scans users' playlists for AI-generated tracks. The detector is compatible with major streaming services, including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music. In a statement, Deezer CEO Alexis Lanternier said the company decided to make the tool available to all users, regardless of their streaming platform, as 'no other company has followed our lead yet'. The move aims to help users identify and avoid AI-generated music, which Deezer claims is a significant problem, with 75,000 AI-generated songs uploaded to its platform daily. Of these, up to 85% are fraudulent, copying human artists' work and stealing their royalties. Deezer's detector can identify AI-generated tracks with over 99% accuracy.
