The right to know where music comes from.
Every day, tens of thousands of AI-generated tracks reach streaming platforms. At the June 2026 peak, fully AI-generated tracks made up more than half of everything delivered to Deezer. Without campaigning against AI, we stand up for human artists and for everyone's right to know where the music they hear comes from.

Creation
At the centre is the work, born of two processes that do not always have the same origin.
Compositionmusic, lyrics
What gets written: the melody, the harmony, the words. By whom, and with which tools.
Recordingperformance, production
What you hear: a voice, a performance, a mix. A voice can be cloned.
Three possible origins for each process
- Human creation
- AI-assisted
- AI-generated
A generated composition can be sung by a human; a cloned voice can carry a song written by a human.
Our demands
- Recognition of hybrid creation
- Consent to the use of voices and works
Circulation
Distributors and platforms receive the work, detect it, label it, sometimes block it, and distribute the revenue it earns. Their rules vary from one service to the next, and none of their detectors has, to our knowledge, been independently audited.
Our demands
- Detectors open to independent scrutiny
- Revenue for human artists
Listening
Every listener must be able to see at a glance whether and how AI was used to make the track they are listening to. Article 50 of the EU AI Act, which concerns transparency for AI-generated content, has applied since 02/08/2026.
Our demands
- The right to know
An effective right of appeal
If one of your tracks has been labelled, blocked or demonetised and you dispute the decision, tell us what happened. We will only publish your name with your consent.
The manifesto
The right to know where music comes from
“We stand up for human artists and the music they create, and for the people who listen to it, who have every right to know where it comes from.”
- 01
The right to know.
Every listener must be able to see at a glance whether and how AI was used to make the track they are listening to.
- 02
Detectors open to independent scrutiny.
Those who detect AI-generated music must publish their methods and error rates and have them checked by independent third parties.
- 03
An effective right of appeal.
Artists must be able to challenge any decision that blocks, labels or demonetises a track. They must be told why the decision was made, have a real person they can contact, and know what evidence will be accepted and when to expect a response.
