AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
Deezer announced a new toggle that will allow users to filter out AI‑generated music from search results, expected to launch before year‑end. The feature follows a 2023 survey where 45% of users requested a way to remove AI content. Deezer’s AI‑detection tools have tracked that AI tracks grew from 10% of daily uploads to over 50% by July, averaging 90,000 new AI tracks per day. The company’s CEO highlighted the toggle as a response to clear user demand. Other services, such as Bandcamp, Tidal, Spotify, and Apple Music, are also addressing AI music in varied ways.
💡 Why It Matters
