Summary 

• Streaming platforms are overwhelmed by AI-generated tracks and up to 70% of plays may be fraudulent.
• The music industry is adapting to AI, with some collection societies now accepting partially AI-generated works.
• The Vobile AI Song Detector (powered by Pex) provides real-time, highly accurate detection of fully AI-generated songs.
• The Vobile AI Song Detector was found to be superior to leading competitors across key metrics including true positives and true negatives.
• The tool is vital for DSPs, distributors, and collection societies to manage AI content. It is accessible via an API.

 

Every day, thousands upon thousands of AI-generated tracks are flooding streaming platforms, and the numbers are frankly staggering. As of September 2025, Deezer alone is receiving over 30,000 fully AI-generated tracks daily. That’s nearly one-third of all new uploads to their platform. We’re witnessing rapid growth and the music industry is in dire need of solutions. 

AI music detection is crucial for protecting copyright while fostering creativity 

The International Confederation of Societies of Authors and Composers (CISAC) warned that AI-generated content could put a quarter of musicians’ income at risk by 2028. But the problem runs deeper than just volume. According to Deezer’s internal data, up to 70% of plays on AI-generated tracks appear to be fraudulent. Bad actors are using AI to generate massive quantities of tracks and then artificially inflating play counts to claim royalties that should be going to legitimate artists.

But AI music isn’t all bad, and AI tools democratize music production, allowing more artists to create than ever before. This new, creative genre is also an opportunity for the music industry, which is finding ways to support AI music. In October, ASCAP, BMI, and SOCAN announced they would begin accepting registrations for partially AI-generated musical works, but that works created entirely using AI tools are not eligible for registration. A policy like this requires advanced technology that can distinguish between human-created and fully AI-generated music. 

The new Vobile AI Song Detector (powered by Pex) is that technology, and can be used to determine if a song is fully AI generated. Streaming platforms, distributors, and collection societies alike can use the detector to effectively manage AI works. 

Real-time AI music detection powered by Pex

We’ve spoken out about identifying AI-generated content and warned rightsholders about what’s possible now, as well as in the future. As the experts on music identification, we understand the nuances of identifying this type of content and ultimately acknowledge that AI detection technology may not be possible forever. For a deep dive on how ACR technology can identify AI-generated content, read our past blog post here. 

That being said, we have developed our own matching technology to detect AI songs. Our AI Song Detector is designed to give you real-time detection capabilities with the accuracy that’s necessary to make confident decisions about content. And when combined with our other copyright solutions and data, you can make informed choices about ownership, licensing, and royalty allocation too. 

The Vobile AI Song Detector sets a new, high standard for identification 

 

Overview

• Determine if a song is fully AI generated 
• DSPs: Manage AI songs with real-time identification so artists can be paid correctly 
• Distributors: Know if users are uploading AI-generated songs so action can be taken 
• Collection societies: Determine if a song can be registered according to your policies for AI-generated works

 

Competitive analysis 

In a test consisting of a mix of human and AI music (including some modified files), our AI Song Detector was superior to that of leading competitors by every metric. This test set included songs generated by various models, including Suno and Udio. 

Our model scored significantly higher on accuracy when compared to other leading AI music detectors. 

We also tested the model with a confusion matrix, which evaluates predictions made by the model to show when the model was correct or incorrect. The results are broken down by true positives, true negatives, false positives, and false negatives. 

• True positive: Model correctly identified a song as fully AI generated
• True negative: Model correctly identified a song as human created 
• False positive: Model incorrectly identified a song as fully AI generated
• False negative: Model incorrectly identified a song as human created

If a model is performing well, you’ll see a high number of true positives and true negatives, and a low number of false positives and false negatives. In this test, our model outperformed competitors for true positives and true negatives, while producing minimal false positives and false negatives. 

Accessing the AI Song Detector 

Our years of experience with audio processing has led us to develop an AI detection API that can process your files quickly and accurately. Send us a file, we’ll process it in real time, and you’ll get a no-fluff JSON response back. 

 

Start identifying AI-generated music today

AI-generated music isn’t going away, but that doesn’t mean we can’t create systems that protect human-created music, ensure fair compensation, and maintain the authenticity that makes copyright meaningful. Our comprehensive copyright solutions, including AI detection capabilities, help the entire industry.

If you’re a streaming platform, a music distributor, or a collection society accepting partially AI-generated works, reach out to our team to access our AI Song Detector.
