A recent study has detected AI in 40% of music released last month.
According to Mixmag, the online music marketplace SubmitHub published the study's results.
The platform used an AI detector to analyse more than a million music releases in July. Their findings revealed that 23.2 per cent of music analysed were fully generated by AI.
15.3 per cent of the music showed signs of AI that had been modified by humans with 38.5 per cent of music released last month containing traces of AI to a certain extent.
SubmitHub launched it's AI detection tool at the start of the summer and intends to emphasise a "growing disclosure problem" with AI in music.
SubmitHub founder, Jason Grishkoff, explained that he thinks the “path forward for AI music is disclosure. People should be able to decide for themselves whether they want to engage with AI-generated music."
"Our job is to give them enough information to make that choice," he continued.
The new AI detection tool is also being used by other online music platform stores such as Bandcamp and Traxsource, according to reports.
Bandcamp announced at the start of this year that they would be banning AI music from its platform. At the time of their announcement, the site stated that it was "struck by the sheer quantity of human creativity and passion that artists express on Bandcamp every single day," and that music audio that is wholly of partially AI generated is not permitted on its platform.
In other news, Spotify announced earlier this month that it will be introducing a new labelling system that will identify artists and content generated by AI.
The platform has confirmed that by mid-September an AI Persona badge will be added to some profiles so listeners can quickly identify what content is AI generated.
