Deezer has announced that AI-generated music now accounts for more than 50% of daily uploads on its platform. The company plans to remove AI tracks that have not been streamed recently or are linked to fraudulent activity, as it seeks to protect artists' rights amid the growing prevalence of AI music.

Deezer has been tracking AI-generated music uploads since last year, noting a steady increase.
As of June 2026, AI-generated tracks represent over 50% of daily uploads, peaking at an average of 90,000 tracks per day.
Other streaming services are adopting varying policies regarding AI music, with some like Bandcamp banning it and others like Apple Music implementing voluntary tagging systems.
Deezer will remove AI-generated tracks that have not been streamed in the past six months or are associated with fraudulent streams.
Deezer CEO Alexis Lanternier emphasized the company's commitment to combating fraud and protecting artists' rights.
The percentage of AI-generated uploads has increased significantly since January 2025, when it was only 10% of daily uploads.
Deezer has developed detection technology for identifying AI-generated tracks and has made it available to other platforms, although its adoption by major services is unclear.
