Deezer says AI tracks now top 90,000 daily uploads
Deezer said more than 90,000 AI-generated tracks are now uploaded to its platform every day, accounting for over half of all daily uploads as of June. The streaming service has been flagging AI-generated content and adjusting how royalties are paid out in response.
Why it matters: This is one of the clearest quantified signs yet of generative AI reshaping music-distribution pipelines, arriving alongside Sony's copyright suit against Udio over 30,000 songs. The legal fights over AI-generated music are now colliding with a supply problem: AI content already outnumbers human uploads on a major streaming platform.
