Deezer says AI-generated music has crossed a major threshold on its platform, now accounting for more than half of all daily uploads. The company has been monitoring the trend since last year and says the volume of synthetic tracks continues to rise quickly.
According to Deezer, the peak came in June 2026, when AI-made songs reached an average of 90,000 uploads per day. The streamer is now adjusting its policy to better manage this fast-growing catalog and protect the listening experience for users.
The platform plans to remove AI-generated tracks that have not been streamed in the past six months, as well as content linked to fraudulent streaming activity. Deezer says the goal is to reduce payment dilution and keep more value flowing to human artists and songwriters.
CEO Alexis Lanternier said the company has been working on fraud prevention and rights protection for nearly two years. Deezer also noted that its detection system can identify tracks created with models such as Suno and Udio, and that its labeling tools are designed to bring more transparency to listeners.
The growth has been steady: daily AI uploads rose from around 10,000 in January 2025 to 75,000 by April 2026, before passing the 50% mark. As streaming platforms refine their approach, Deezer's move signals a broader shift toward clearer rules for AI music in digital culture. The next phase may shape how creativity, technology, and music discovery evolve together.
