The music industry has a history of controversies, from questions about authenticity, such as whether it was really Plastic Bertrand‘s voice in the 1977 hit It hovers for me, to plagiarism accusations, like those surrounding Gilbert Montagné’s we will love each other.
Though, these past disputes pale in comparison to the potential disruption caused by AI-generated music.The economic implications are substantial, as a portion of streaming revenue, which accounted for 69% of the music industry’s $29.6 billion in global revenue in 2024, could end up benefiting artificial intelligence.
Deezer’s Initiative
In response to the growing concerns, Deezer announced on Friday, June 20, the launch of the “First labeling system in the world making it possible to identify the albums containing titles generated by artificial intelligence”. This system will allow users to identify AI-generated content on the platform.
