Deezer and YouTube Music are introducing ways for users to identify and avoid AI-generated music on their platforms.
Music streaming services are introducing tools to help users avoid AI-generated content. Deezer announced on Tuesday that it will roll out a toggle allowing users to filter out AI-generated tracks, albums and related artists from their streaming experience before the end of the year. YouTube Music has added visible labels denoting tracks where AI played a significant role in creation, including fully AI-generated songs and those using AI to create major components like vocals.
Deezer CEO Alexis Lanternier said the company observed clear user demand for such a feature. A survey found that around 45% of Deezer customers wanted a way to remove AI music from their feeds. The company added that the explosion of AI music on its platform was a catalyst for developing the toggle. In July, Deezer reported that more than 50% of daily uploads were AI-generated, averaging 90,000 tracks per day, compared to 10% a year earlier.
YouTube's labels are designed to inform users about how AI was used in a track, with a tap-through menu providing details. Other platforms have taken different approaches: Bandcamp has completely banned AI tracks, while Tidal cut off monetization for users uploading AI music. Spotify has begun labeling fake artists.
