Music streamer Deezer says more than 50% of daily uploads are AI-generated
Deezer reports that AI-generated music now accounts for over 50% of daily uploads on its platform. The company is implementing new policies to remove inactive or fraudulent AI tracks to protect artist revenue.
Why it matters
The rapid proliferation of AI-generated content is forcing streaming platforms to establish new standards for monetization and content moderation.
Music streaming company Deezer has been tracking the number of AI-generated tracks uploaded on the platform since last year, and the number has constantly gone up . Today, the company said that AI music now represents more than 50% of downloads.
Deezer said that AI-generated track uploads were at a peak in June 2026, representing a monthly average of 90,000 tracks per day.
The rapid rise of AI-generated music has forced streaming services to decide how much of it they want on their own platforms. There is no single consensus yet on that front. Some take strict steps, like Bandcamp banning such tracks or Tidal cutting off monetization . Meanwhile, Apple Music has a voluntary AI-tagging system, and Spotify developed its own policy about how much AI was used in music-making.
