Streaming service Deezer reports that nearly 75,000 AI-made tracks are uploaded daily, with artificial intelligence accounting for 44 percent of all daily submissions to its platform.

The Paris-based music service flagged approximately 2 million AI-generated songs per month, according to its latest report. Across 2025, Deezer detected and labeled 13.4 million AI-created tracks on its platform. The sharp rise underscores the rapid adoption of AI music generation tools, which have become increasingly accessible to creators. The influx raises questions about content moderation, artist compensation, and the platform's ability to manage such volumes of algorithmic output. Deezer's findings suggest AI-generated music is becoming a significant portion of streaming catalogs. The company flags these tracks but continues to host them, allowing listeners to identify artificially created content while maintaining availability on the service. Other streaming platforms have grappled with similar challenges as AI music tools proliferate, though few have released comparable statistics on AI uploads.
