Deezer will let listeners filter out AI music; YouTube Music labels it instead
Two big streaming services picked opposite answers to the same flood of AI-generated tracks in the same week.
Deezer said it is building a toggle, due before the end of the year, that removes AI-generated tracks, albums and related artists from a listener's search results. The company says more than 50% of its daily uploads, about 90,000 tracks a day, were AI-generated as of July, and cites a survey in which about 45% of customers wanted a way to remove them.
YouTube Music took a disclosure approach: a new label on the player page, also shown in the main YouTube app, marks songs as Fully Gen AI, Partly Gen AI or No Gen AI, based on what partners declare and YouTube's own detection. AI involvement alone doesn't make a track ineligible for monetization on YouTube.
