Deezer: AI-made uploads hit 44% of new music, yet AI streams are largely demonetized

Deezer reports that about 44% of new uploads are AI-generated (roughly 75,000 AI tracks daily), but AI streams account for only about 1–3% of listening because roughly 85% are demonetized as fraudulent; the company’s AI-detection tech has a false-positive rate under 0.01%, and AI tracks are excluded from recommendations. A survey found 97% of listeners can’t reliably tell AI from human-made songs, underscoring labeling challenges in the growing AI-music space.

The Federal Trade Commission and eight states reached settlements with ad firms Dentsu, Publicis, and WPP after accusing them of colluding to impose brand-safety standards that reduced advertising revenue for conservative outlets; the agreements bar certain anti-competitive ad-placement practices (the use of ‘Covered Bases’) and require changes to how ads are directed, while the firms did not admit wrongdoing; the action follows related actions against Omnicom and Interpublic and was approved by U.S. District Judge Mark Pittman.
