The volume of AI-generated music peaked in June 2026, with an average of 90,000 tracks uploaded daily. This surge has forced a shift in strategy at the company, which now plans to remove AI tracks that have failed to secure any streams over the past six months or appear linked to fraudulent activity. CEO Alexis Lanternier stated that these measures aim to protect the rights of human songwriters while filtering out content that dilutes royalty pools.
Streaming services remain divided on how to handle the influx. While Bandcamp has implemented outright bans and Tidal has restricted monetization for such content, others like Apple Music rely on voluntary tagging. Deezer has positioned itself as an aggressive regulator, deploying detection technology capable of identifying tracks from startups like Suno and Udio. The company has even opened this detection suite to competitors, though adoption among major platforms remains unconfirmed.
