Deezer Launches AI Music Detector for 20 Platforms as Rivals Reject Licensing

Summary
Deezer has opened its AI-music detection tool to the public, letting users scan playlists from 20 streaming services including Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud and YouTube Music.
The move follows weak uptake from rival platforms after Deezer offered to license the technology; CEO Alexis Lanternier said no other company had followed its lead on labeling synthetic music.
Users access the detector through a Deezer website, grant playlist permissions, and Deezer imports the tracks—apparently via Tune My Music—before flagging AI-generated songs and offering shareable results.
Deezer was the first major streaming service to label AI-generated music, while Qobuz built its own detector and Apple and Spotify have relied on voluntary tagging systems.
