Deezer Fights AI Music Fraud With Song Tags and Detection

Deezer Fights AI Music Fraud With Song Tags and Detection

Deezer, a music streaming service, is fighting back against fake music made by AI.

They're going to put a label on songs made by AI to warn listeners.

They noticed a lot of AI-made songs being uploaded, and suspect many of them are being used to trick the system and make money.

Deezer is using its own AI to spot these fake songs.

The AI is trained to identify the patterns that are common in AI generated songs.

These patterns are the same patterns that allow Deezer to identify songs with stream manipulation.

If a song is being used to cheat the system, Deezer won't pay royalties for those songs.

This is part of a bigger problem, as AI is changing how music is made, which also brings up questions of copyright and artists' rights.
