The music streaming service Deezer on Monday revealed that 44% of all tracks newly uploaded on its platform are fully generated by artificial intelligence (AI).
The Paris-based company on Monday said that it "is receiving nearly 75,000 fully AI-generated tracks every day – accounting for more than 44% of the total daily delivery." This marks a huge increase from last year's 10,000 tracks per day.
Despite the flood of this type of content, "fully AI-generated music currently accounts for only a small fraction of streams on Deezer - between 1-3%," the company said in a statement.
The service attributes this to its targeted countermeasures. Deezer transparently labels AI content, excludes it from algorithmic recommendations and has stopped storing high-resolution versions of such tracks.
The music streaming service is a pioneer in tagging AI-generated music.
"AI-generated music is now far from a marginal phenomenon and as daily deliveries keep increasing, we hope the whole music ecosystem will join us in taking action to help safeguard artists' rights and promote transparency for fans," said Deezer chief executive officer Alexis Lanternier.
According to estimates, around 25% of music creators' income could be at risk from AI by 2028.
Deezer said it was important to label AI-generated content as such, citing an international survey it commissioned where 80% of respondents said they wanted AI music to be clearly labelled for listeners.
Although 97% of participants in a blind test could not spot the difference between software-generated tracks and human-made music, a majority were against including AI songs in the official charts, according to the study.
