Deezer is being spammed by AI slop

AI spam is flooding Deezer fast, forcing the platform to monetize detection tech and clamp down harder on fake streaming schemes.

AI upload surge on the platform

• Deezer said over 60,000 AI-made tracks hit the platform daily.
• Synthetic music made up about 39 percent of daily uploads.
• The figure jumped from the earlier disclosed lower volumes.

Detection tech goes commercial

• Deezer began licensing its AI detection system externally.
• Alexis Lanternier said industry interest pushed the move.
• Tests have already been run with partners like Sacem.

Scale of flagged AI content

• Deezer said it tagged over 13.4 million AI-generated tracks.
• The count covers roughly one year after tool deployment.

Fraud dominates AI streaming

• Deezer claimed up to 85 percent of AI streams were fraudulent in 2025.
• Those plays were removed and stripped of royalties.
• Overall platform fraud sat around 8 percent.

Why AI tracks keep coming

• Deezer said most AI uploads target fake streaming revenue.
• AI music still represented only about 3 percent of total streams.

Platform enforcement tactics

• Deezer tags AI music and blocks it from recommendations.
• It said no other platform applies this policy explicitly.

How the detection works

• Deezer said its tool identifies fully AI tracks from Suno and Udio.
• The system can expand to detect new generators.
• It also detects AI music without specific training datasets.

Patents and industry anxiety

• Deezer filed two patents for AI detection in December 2024.
• CISAC warned that creators face revenue risk by 2028.
