Music streamer Deezer says more than 50% of daily uploads are AI-generated
Deezer said more than 90,000 AI-generated tracks were uploaded daily on the platform in June
Deezer says artificial intelligence now accounts for more than half of the music uploaded to its platform each day, underscoring how quickly AI-generated audio has become part of the streaming landscape.
According to the company, more than 90,000 AI-generated tracks were uploaded daily in June. The figure suggests that synthetic music is no longer a niche trend but a major share of the new content arriving on the service, which is one of the better-known music streaming platforms focused on discovery and personalized listening.
The disclosure adds to growing debate across the music industry over how streaming services should identify and manage AI-made songs. As tools for generating vocals, melodies and full tracks become easier to use, platforms have faced increasing pressure to distinguish human-made music from machine-generated content, both for transparency and for catalog quality.
Deezer’s numbers were highlighted in a report based on a monitored public feed, pointing to a steady stream of uploads rather than a one-time spike. The company’s warning comes as music services and rights holders continue to grapple with questions around labeling, recommendation systems and the volume of AI content entering digital catalogs.
The surge also raises concerns for artists and listeners alike. For musicians, the rapid growth of AI-generated uploads can increase competition for attention on streaming platforms. For users, it can make it harder to know whether a track was created by a person, assisted by AI, or produced entirely by software.
Deezer’s disclosure does not by itself indicate how many of those tracks are being widely played, but it does show the scale at which AI-generated music is being submitted to streaming services. With the daily volume now measured in tens of thousands, the issue appears likely to remain a central one for the industry as AI tools continue to spread.
