AI-generated music has become an increasing challenge in the digital music ecosystem. Key concerns focus on how AI companies may use copyrighted recordings to train their models and on the potential for fraudulent or manipulative practices on streaming services.
In this context — a topic also highlighted by TechCrunch — Deezer has introduced a tool that can detect tracks created by artificial intelligence not only on its own platform but also across other popular streaming services.
How the tool works and its features
- The tool is freely available and runs in a web browser. To use it, the user selects the platform to be scanned and grants Deezer access to their playlists.
- After permission is given, the site scans the tracks in the playlist and flags items it determines were generated by AI.
- The utility supports 27 languages and can check playlists on roughly 20 different popular online platforms.
- Supported services include major providers such as Spotify, Apple Music and SoundCloud.
Why this matters
The capability to detect AI-originated content across platforms can help protect copyrights, improve market transparency and counteract fraudulent behavior in streaming metrics. Many services currently lack robust tools to filter machine-generated music, so Deezer’s offering may contribute to greater visibility and management of the issue.
Access
The Deezer tool is available to users via a web interface. After opening the page, users pick the platform to inspect and authorize playlist access; the site then scans the list and reports any tracks it identifies as AI-generated.
