French Music Platform Releases Free Tool to Spot AI-Generated Songs

A French streaming service announced Thursday the release of a free web-based tool designed to identify artificially generated music within user playlists across approximately 20 major streaming platforms.

The music platform is also making its artificial intelligence detection technology available for licensing to the broader music industry, expanding on previous agreements including a deal struck with France’s royalty agency Sacem in January.

According to company statistics, 43% of users who switch to the platform from competing services already have artificially generated music included in their playlists. The streaming service handles this issue on its own platform by marking AI-created songs and automatically excluding them from algorithm-driven recommendations and curated playlists.

“This is a first step in making sure that these tracks don’t dilute the royalty pool in any significant way,” the company stated.

The platform referenced a 2024 Cisac study indicating that 25% of artists’ earnings, equivalent to €4 billion ($4.6 billion) annually, could potentially be diverted by artificially generated songs by 2028.

The streaming service currently processes nearly 75,000 AI-created tracks each day, representing more than 44% of its incoming music content, an increase from 60,000 tracks reported in early 2025.

A joint survey conducted by the platform and Ipsos revealed that 80% of participants wanted AI-generated music to be clearly identified on streaming services.
