Deezer works on toggle to filter AI-generated music
Deezer announced on Tuesday that it is developing a toggle that will let users filter out AI‑generated music from its platform. The feature is expected to launch before the end of the year and will hide AI‑generated tracks, albums and related artists from search results.
Key points
- Deezer developing toggle to filter AI‑generated music before year‑end
- 45% of customers want to remove AI music, 10% of daily uploads were AI last year
- More than 50% of daily uploads were AI‑generated in July, averaging 90,000 tracks per day
The move follows a survey from last year that found about 45% of Deezer customers wanted a way to remove AI music from their feeds. Deezer has been tracking AI‑generated uploads since last year, when such tracks made up 10% of daily uploads. In July, the company said more than 50% of daily uploads were AI‑generated, averaging 90,000 tracks per day.
Other streaming services have taken different approaches. Bandcamp has banned AI tracks entirely, Tidal has cut off monetization for AI uploads, and Spotify only tags AI tracks more prominently. Variety reported in August that Apple Music is looking to label AI tracks by the end of the year.
Deezer will soon let you filter out AI-generated music
