Deezer Fights AI Music Fraud with New Labeling System
Deezer, a leading music streaming service, has revealed that a significant portion of the music uploaded daily is generated by AI, not human artists. The company's CEO, Alex Lanternier, has announced a new labeling system to combat this issue and prevent streaming fraud.
AI-generated music now accounts for 18% of daily uploads, a substantial increase from 10% three months ago. This rise has raised concerns about the authenticity of the music being streamed and the potential for news fraud. Last year, a man was charged with wire fraud for using bots to stream fake songs billions of times, earning over $10 million illegally.
Deezer's new labeling system will identify AI-generated songs and block them from earning royalties if they are part of stream manipulation. The company uses ai detector to detect patterns in machine-made music, helping to combat fraud. Lanternier clarified that Deezer supports artists using AI creatively, but human involvement in the process is crucial. The new system will also tag albums containing AI-generated music, warning listeners about non-human artist tracks.
Deezer's move to tackle AI-generated music fraud comes at a time when the music industry is grappling with legal battles over AI tools accused of copying and reusing copyrighted songs. The new labeling system aims to protect both artists and listeners, ensuring the authenticity and integrity of the music streaming experience.
