The way it works is you visit Deezer’s[AI music detector](https://ai-music-detector.deezer.com/)site, choose your streaming service, and grant Deezer permission to access it\. The tool is compatible with 20 different platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud, and YouTube Music\. Deezer will then import your playlists, seemingly using[Tune My Music,](https://www.theverge.com/news/825646/spotify-playlist-import)which the company already uses to import your library if you’re switching from a competitor like Spotify\. Deezer will then scan the results for AI content, alert you to any hits, and give you the option to share the results\.

Deezer launched a free online tool that scans playlists from various streaming platforms to identify AI-generated tracks, positioning itself as a leader in AI music transparency.
Deezer reports that 44% of all new music uploaded to its platform is AI-generated, amounting to nearly 75,000 tracks per day, though consumption remains low at 1-3% of total streams with 85% flagged as fraudulent. The surge highlights growing challenges for streaming platforms in managing AI content and protecting artists' rights.
Deezer reports 44% of new uploads are AI-generated, mostly for fraudulent streaming, while keeping them out of recommendations; Lyria 3, Suno, Udio cited as enablers.
Google announced SynthID Detector, a verification portal that identifies AI-generated content across images, audio, video, and text by detecting imperceptible SynthID watermarks embedded in media created with Google's AI tools. The platform is rolling out to early testers with plans for broader availability to journalists, media professionals, and researchers.
Spotify has partnered with Universal Music Group to launch AI-generated remixes and covers as a paid add-on for Premium subscribers, with artists able to opt out and collect royalties.
