Deezer plant eine Einstellung, mit der Nutzer vollständig KI-generierte Tracks und Alben aus den Suchergebnissen ausblenden können. Das Feature soll weltweit ausgerollt werden.

Deezer, the French music streaming service, will add a setting that lets listeners hide fully AI-generated music. With the toggle on, AI-generated tracks, albums and their related artists drop out of search results. The company announced it on October 13, 2026, and says it will arrive worldwide before the end of the year. It puts the choice to opt out of AI music in the listener's hands.
The setting is a simple on or off switch, according to Deezer's announcement. When it is on, fully AI-generated tracks, albums and related artists no longer appear when a user searches. Users can switch it off at any time to see them again.
The toggle covers search. Deezer already keeps fully AI-generated tracks out of its algorithmic recommendations and editorial playlists, Music Business Worldwide reports.
It targets music made entirely with generative AI. Deezer says tracks that use limited AI help within a human creative process are treated differently. None of the reports say whether the toggle will be on or off by default.
"We've seen a clear user demand for the ability to filter out AI-generated music," said Alexis Lanternier, Deezer's chief executive.
Deezer has been tracking AI uploads since it launched a detection tool in January 2025. The numbers have climbed fast:
When Deezer launched its detection tool, it was receiving about 10,000 AI tracks a day, Music Business Worldwide reports.
Fraud is a big part of the problem. "It's evident that the primary purpose of uploading these tracks to streaming platforms is fraudulent," Deezer said, according to Music Business Worldwide. Deezer says it excludes manipulated streams from royalty payments.
The toggle follows a survey Deezer ran with the research firm Ipsos in November 2025. It covered 9,000 people in eight countries.
Streaming services have taken different approaches, according to TechCrunch and Music Business Worldwide:
Deezer's approach differs because the listener decides, Music Business Worldwide notes. Spotify's exclusion from recommendations is automatic.
