The streaming media platform Deezer is still committed to helping users avoid music generated by AI. The company stated on Tuesday that it is developing a new toggle switch that will allow users to filter out music generated by AI uploaded to the platform. This feature is expected to be launched before the end of this year.

Deezer indicates that once this switch is enabled, users will not see the tracks, albums, and related artists generated by AI in the search results.

Deezer CEO Alexis Lanternier said in a statement: "We have seen a clear demand from users for the filtering of AI generated music. Now, we will provide everyone with an option to completely remove such content from their streaming experience on Deezer, and if they wish, to focus only on human creators and their works."

He added that the surge in AI music on the platform was one of the catalysts for launching this feature based on switches. The company cited a survey from last year, which stated that about 45% of Deezer customers wished there was a way to remove AI music from their information streams.

Deezer joined AI detection tool last year, and has been reporting the number of tracks uploaded to the platform ever since. At that time, AI generated 10% of the daily upload volume.

In July of this year, the company stated that over 50% of the content uploaded daily to its platform was generated by AI, with an average of about 90,000 tracks per day.

Other music streaming services have also formulated their own policies regarding AI music. Bandcamp has completely banned AI tracks, while Tidal has cut off the monetization channels for AI musicians. Spotify takes a more moderate stance, merely highlighting AI tracks and artists more prominently on their platform.

In August this year, Variety reported that Apple Music is considering adding target tags for AI before the end of the year. In addition to the tagging within the platform, users have also begun to turn to independent tracking systems to identify AI music.
