Deezer Plans Global AI Music Filter by End of 2026

Deezer plans to introduce a setting that lets listeners filter fully AI-generated music from their experience, with a global rollout planned before the end of 2026. The company announced the option on October 13, describing it as a user-controlled toggle. No exact launch date was given. Deezer says the control will hide fully AI-generated tracks from search results. Its announcement also described the option as removing such music from a user’s streaming experience. The available details do not specify whether the filter will apply beyond search and related discovery features. The setting is intended for music made entirely by artificial intelligence. One account of the announcement said songs made by people with limited AI assistance would not be included. Deezer has not provided detailed criteria in the supplied information for distinguishing fully AI-generated works from music made with AI assistance. The announcement builds on Deezer’s existing efforts to identify and limit the reach of AI-generated uploads. The company said it had kept more than 42 million AI-made tracks out of song suggestions from January 2025 through August 2026.
