Music streaming service Deezer decided to create the most advanced AI detection system in the world, and they done it.

They turned it on.

We presume they gasped.

They found that roughly 10,000 AI generated tracks are being uploaded every day, or 10% of the music.

Their innovation chief said “Tools that are on the market today can be highly effective as long as they are trained on data sets from a specific generative AI model, but the detection rate drastically decreases as soon as the tool is subjected to a new model or new data. We have addressed this challenge and created a tool that is significantly more robust and applicable to multiple models.”

They hope to be able to detect deepfaked voices in the future.

“Generative AI has the potential to positively impact music creation and consumption, but its use must be guided by responsibility and care in order to safeguard the rights and revenues of artists and songwriters. Going forward we aim to develop a tagging system for fully AI generated content, and exclude it from algorithmic and editorial recommendation.“
