By Leo Marchandon and Jaspreet SinghJan 29 (Reuters) - Music streaming platform Deezer has licensed its artificial intelligence-detection technology to France's royalty agency Sacem ​in a landmark commercial deal to combat music fraud, as the ‌company pursues wider industry adoption for the tool. France-based Deezer said it successfully identified ⁠and removed up to 85% ‌of fraudulent AI-generated music streams from its royalty pool in 2025, flagging over 13.4 million AI tracks. Deezer's royalty pool comprises 70% of subscriber revenue, according to CEO ​Alexis Lanternier. The detection tool analyzes audio signals for patterns created by AI ‌music generators such as Suno and Udio, identifying subtle anomalies inaudible to human ears. However, Swedish royalty society Stim told Reuters that detection tools alone cannot be an answer to issues surrounding musical ⁠composition and copyright.
