The Deezer AI music detector is now live and free. You point it at your Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube Music playlist, and it tells you which tracks were made by AI. With 44 percent of new daily uploads coming from AI, the timing makes sense.

How the Deezer AI music detector actually works
Deezer launched its AI music detector on Thursday, June 11, 2026. The tool lives at deezer.com/explore/ai-music-detector and stays completely free to use. You do not need a Deezer subscription to try it.
The flow is simple. You pick your streaming service from the list. You give Deezer access to your playlist. The tool scans every track, flags the ones that look AI-generated and sends you the result. You can share what it found with your friends if you want.
It works with 20 of the most popular streaming services. That includes Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud and YouTube Music, which together cover almost every regular listener out there. The detector is available in 27 languages from day one.
For people who have never used this kind of tool, the idea is straightforward. A small program compares each song to patterns it has learned from confirmed AI-generated tracks. When the match is strong, the song gets flagged. You stay in control of what you do next.
CEO Alexis Lanternier explains the move. According to him, Deezer has been “tagging AI-generated music over the past year and a half” and decided to open the same capability to everyone. The pitch is transparency, not policing.
Why the 44 percent AI upload wave changes everything
The numbers Deezer puts on the table tell the real story. 44 percent of new tracks uploaded every day on the platform are AI-generated. That is around 75,000 tracks landing every day, or more than 2 million every month.
The good news for casual listeners is that AI music does not yet dominate what people actually play. AI-generated tracks account for only 1 to 3 percent of total streams on Deezer. The flood is on the upload side, not on the listening side, at least for now.
Fraud is the part Deezer takes seriously. Around 85 percent of AI-generated streams on the platform are flagged as fraudulent and demonetized. That is bot farms artificially inflating play counts on cheap AI tracks to grab royalties from the streaming pool.
The competitive angle is hard to miss. Lanternier states that no other company has followed Deezer’s lead on tagging AI tracks. By opening the detector to playlists from rival services, Deezer puts the question on every platform’s desk at the same time.
For Spotify and Apple Music, the pressure now becomes public. Their users can finally check, in a few clicks, how much AI music sits in their library. If the answer surprises them, they will want their own platform to do something about it.

How to scan your own playlist this weekend
Run the Deezer AI music detector once on your favorite playlist. The whole point is to find out what you have actually been listening to. Most users have no idea how many AI tracks already slipped into the recommendations they trust.
If you discover several AI tracks in your playlists, it does not automatically mean the music is bad. Some AI tracks are listenable. Others are fillers designed for ambient background, made cheaply to get inserted into algorithmic mood lists. You decide what to keep.
For people who care about supporting real artists, the tool gives a concrete starting point. You can build a parallel playlist with only the human-made tracks and put it on rotation. The streams still pay the artists you actually want to back.
In the short term, expect the detector to evolve fast. Deezer will refine the model with feedback from millions of scanned playlists. False positives may happen at first, especially on tracks that already use AI tools for mastering or vocal effects.
In the medium term, the AI music question becomes a competitive sorting feature. Streaming services that show what is AI and what is not will earn the trust of listeners who care. The Deezer AI music detector pushes that line into the public conversation today.
