"The use of generative AI in pop music started almost as a gimmick, with albums like I AM AI and Proto showcasing experimentalism in music creation."
"By September 2025, Deezer reported that 28 percent of music uploaded was fully AI-generated, which grew to over 50,000 tracks per day by year-end."
"Deezer was the first major streaming platform to implement a system that detects and labels AI-generated content, preventing its algorithm from recommending it."
Generative AI's role in pop music evolved from experimental projects to mainstream accessibility with tools like Suno and Udio. By 2025, 28 percent of music uploaded to Deezer was fully AI-generated, increasing to 34 percent by year-end. Daily uploads of AI-generated content reached 75,000, threatening human-made music. Frustration among users and artists grew, prompting Deezer to implement a detection system for AI content, prevent algorithmic recommendations, and demonetize 85 percent of streams from AI-generated music.
