Deezer notes that for now, AI-Only songs make just 0.5% of all streams on their platforms, but this trend is growing rapidly.
“We have detected a significant optic in the delivery of only AI-based music in the last few months and we do not see any signal to slow down. It is an industry-wide issue, and we are committed to enhance transparency by helping music fans to identify that AI music is involved in which albums. Press release.
“AI is not naturally good or bad, but we believe that a responsible and transparent approach is important to create confidence with our users and music industry,” he continued. “We are also evident in our commitment to protect the rights of artists and lyricists at a time, where the copyright law is being questioned in favor of the AI model training.”
