Deezer reports receiving 75,000 AI-generated song submissions daily (44% of uploads) since launching its detection tool in January 2025, though AI songs comprise only 1-3% of streams. The platform has implemented tagging, demonetization, and recommendation exclusion for AI tracks. Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp, and Qobuz are adopting varied countermeasures.
