  "account": "Streaming service Deezer aims to help users sidestep AI-generated music by introducing a toggle feature, according to a statement from CEO Alexis Lanternier. The tool will be activated before the end of the year and will allow users to exclude AI-generated tracks, albums, and associated artists from search results. Deezer CEO Alexis Lanternier stated that the company has witnessed a strong demand from users for the ability to filter out AI-generated music, and the toggle-based feature grants them the option to remove this content entirely from their streaming experience, focusing exclusively on human creators and their creations if desired.\n\nThe surge in AI music on the platform was a key factor in the decision to implement the toggle-based feature. A survey conducted last year revealed that approximately 45% of Deezer customers expressed a desire for a method to eliminate AI music from their feeds. Since last year, Deezer has implemented AI-detection tooling and has been tracking the number of AI-generated tracks uploaded to the platform. In July, it was reported that AI-generated tracks made up over 50% of daily uploads, with an average of 90,000 tracks being uploaded daily. Other music streaming platforms have also taken steps to address AI music. Bandcamp has totally prohibited AI tracks, Tidal ceased monetizing AI-generated content, and Spotify has simply labeled AI tracks and artists more prominently on its platform. Apple Music, in August, was reported to be working towards labeling AI tracks by the end of the year. Users can also rely on independent tracking systems to identify AI music.",
