A new tool is here to tell you whether your latest pop obsession is made by AI (www.businessinsider.com)

Deezer, the French music-streaming service, has introduced a free tool that allows users to identify AI-generated music across multiple platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music. This tool scans imported playlists to detect tracks made by generative models, highlighting any flagged songs and enabling users to share their findings. A unique feature of the tool is its ability to identify frequency artifacts that are indicative of AI composition, which Deezer developed by analyzing tracks produced by popular AI music generators like Suno and Udio. The significance of this tool lies in its timely response to the rising prevalence of AI-generated music, with Deezer reporting that 44% of new uploads are AI-created. Despite the massive influx of AI tracks—approximately 75,000 per day—listener engagement remains surprisingly low, comprising only 1% to 3% of streams, with much being linked to fraudulent activity. This initiative aims to enhance transparency for listeners and protect artist rights, reflecting growing concerns over AI's impact on the music industry. As consumer skepticism toward AI music rises, particularly among younger audiences, Deezer's tool provides a critical resource in navigating this evolving musical landscape.
