Deezer said on Wednesday that users are adding over 20,000 fully AI-generated tracks to its platform each day.
In January, Deezer launched a tool that detects AI-generated music.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
Thanks to the tool, Deezer is already removing fully AI-generated content from the algorithmic recommendations, Herault said.
The company also plans to develop a tagging system for fully AI-generated content, it said in January.
Deezers tool stands out in an industry that largely seems to be turning a blind eye to the issue.
Rival platform Spotify has yet to launch any equivalent tool to track AI-generated music.
It also hasnt made any attempts to label such content, at least not publicly.
CEO Daniel Ek previouslysaidthat tracks created with AI were fair game on the platform unless they mimicked real artists.
Its perhaps unsurprising that popular music streaming platforms are sitting on their hands.
