Deezer says it will let users filter out AI-generated music by year-end
🎧 Listen to this story
Deezer is developing an option that will let users filter AI-generated music on its platform, hiding tracks, albums and related artists from search results. The company expects to make the feature available by the end of the year. CEO Alexis Lanternier said the move responds to user demand and will let people completely remove this content from their streaming experience if they wish.
According to Deezer, a survey from last year found that about 45% of its customers wanted to remove AI-generated music from their feeds. The company said that more than 50% of daily uploads were AI-generated tracks in July, averaging 90,000 tracks a day. Bandcamp has banned AI tracks, Tidal has removed monetization for the content, and Spotify has begun labeling it more prominently.
Why it matters · editorial interpretation
The option could give users more control over what they hear in a setting where, according to Deezer, AI-generated tracks already account for more than half of the platform’s daily uploads. It also widens the differences between streaming services’ responses to AI-generated content.
