WIREUNWIRED BRIEF

Music streaming platform Deezer announced Tuesday that it is developing a new feature to let users filter out artificial intelligence-generated tracks. The company expects to release the toggle before the end of the year. When enabled, the feature will remove AI-generated tracks, albums, and related artists from search results.

Deezer CEO Alexis Lanternier stated that the company responded to clear user demand, citing a previous survey showing about 45 percent of customers wanted a way to remove AI music. Lanternier noted that a surge of AI content catalyzed the decision. Deezer previously reported that AI tracks jumped from 10 percent of daily uploads last year to over 50 percent—averaging 90,000 tracks per day—by July.

Other streaming services have adopted different approaches to artificial intelligence. Bandcamp banned AI tracks entirely, while Tidal stopped monetizing them. Spotify labels AI-generated music and artists, and Apple Music planned to label them by the end of the year.
