Deezer will soon let users filter out AI-generated music
Deezer said Tuesday it is building a new toggle that lets users filter AI-generated music out of its platform, with the feature expected before the end of the year. When switched on, AI-generated tracks, albums and related artists will no longer appear in search results. Deezer cited a survey from last year in which about 45% of its customers wanted a way to remove AI music from their feeds; the company added AI-detection tooling last year and said in July that more than 50% of daily uploads to its platform were AI-generated, averaging 90,000 tracks a day.
It shows streaming platforms turning AI-music detection into a user-facing choice, as the share of AI-generated uploads becomes an industry governance issue.
Streaming platform Deezer remains steadfast in its intent to help users avoid listening to AI-generated music: The company on Tuesday said it is working on a new toggle that lets users filter out AI-generated music uploaded to its platform. The feature is expected to be available before the end of the year.
Deezer said turning on the toggle will stop you from seeing AI-generated tracks, albums, and related artists in search results.
“We’ve seen clear user demand for the ability to filter out AI-generated music, and we are now giving everyone the option to remove this content completely from their streaming experience on Deezer, and focus only on human creators and creations, if they wish,” Deezer CEO Alexis Lanternier said in a statement.
He added that the explosion of AI music on the platform was one of the catalysts for the toggle-based features. The company cited a survey from last year, which noted that around 45% of Deezer customers wanted a way to remove AI music from their feeds.
Deezer added AI-detection tooling last year and has been reporting on the number of tracks being uploaded to the platform ever since. At that time, AI-generated tracks represented 10% of daily uploads.
