Overview
Deezer, a popular music streaming service based in Europe, is using AI to detect and eliminate deepfake singers and synthetically generated songs from its platform. The company is automating the checking and tagging of pieces involving generative AI to protect artists who might lose income and listeners who might not appreciate being duped. Deezer is starting the project with a focus on spotting voice clones of real people via its Radar tool that processes music catalogs for telltale distortion, tempo shifts, and other signs of AI assistance. The streaming platform aims to weed out illegal and fraudulent content, increase transparency, and develop a new remuneration system where professional artists are rewarded for creating valuable content.
