That’s a lot! Last Friday, January 24, Deezer announced that around 10% of all new songs on the platform are AI-generated. To help fans and artists, they’ve created a special tool that can spot AI-made music from different types of AI models.   Deezer’s CEO, Alexis Lanternier, said they are proud of this new technology because it will bring more transparencyto the music industry. In the future, they plan to label AI-generated songs and remove them from recommendations, so real artists don’t get overshadowed.   AI music is growing fast, but Deezer is making sure fans can tell what’s real and what’s not!
