AI-generated music grows. About 18% of songs uploaded to Deezer are fully generated by AI, the French streaming platform said on April 16, underscoring the technology’s growing use amid growing concerns over copyright risk. Deezer said more than 20,000 AI-generated tracks are uploaded on its platform each day, which is nearly twice the number reported four months ago.
