Music platform Deezer has revealed that 28% of music uploaded to the site is fully AI-generated.
This comes following the installation of a AI-detection tool at the beginning of the year, with Deezer committing to labelling any song which uses AI with a tag.
Deezer has since revealed a new report sharing new figures for tracks which use Artificial Intelligence. They have said that 30,000 tracks have been created, at least partially with AI added to them every day. 70% of the plays of these songs have been detected and identified as fraudulent.
Earlier this year, Deezer had said that roughly 10,000 AI generated tracks are submitted to the site on a daily basis. They said that 10% of the material delivered to the platform was generated by AI, before later increasing to 18% in April.
Its has since reached a high of 28%.
Deezer intend to tag content which has been generated by AI for user transparency, stating that it has been removed from algorithmic recommendations. They are also keen to develop capabilities of its AI-detection technology to include deep fake voices.
Speaking about this increase, Deezer CEO, Alexis Lanternier had this to say.
“Following a massive increase during the year, AI music now makes up a significant part of the daily track delivery to music streaming, and we want to lead the way in minimising any negative impact for artists and fans alike", Lanternier said.
“Our approach is simple: we remove fully AI-generated content from algorithmic recommendations, and we don’t include it in editorial playlists. This way, we ensure the impact on the royalty pool remains minimal while providing a transparent user experience. And most importantly, we continue to fight fraudulent activity, which is the main driver behind uploading fully AI-generated content".
Speaking of streaming services, The Weeknd's track 'Blinding Lights' has become the first song to reach five billion streams on Spotify. More on this here.
