Deezer licenses AI music detection tool to French royalty agency Sacem, plans wider rollout
Music streaming platform Deezer has licensed its artificial intelligence-detection technology to France’s royalty agency Sacem in a landmark commercial deal to combat music fraud, as the company pursues wider industry adoption for the tool.
The deal, announced on Thursday, January 29, comes as expanding AI capabilities blur the line between human- and machine-made songs, enabling a new type of streaming fraud where bad actors upload thousands of AI-generated numbers designed to trigger algorithmic recommendations and siphon royalties away from artists and songwriters.
France-based Deezer said it successfully identified and removed up to 85% of fraudulent AI-generated music streams from its royalty pool in 2025, flagging over 13.4 million AI tracks.
The platform now receives around 60,000 fully AI-created tracks every day, roughly 39% of total daily uploads, up from 10% in January last year.
Deezer’s royalty pool comprises 70% of subscriber revenue, according to CEO Alexis Lanternier.
The detection tool analyzes audio signals for patterns created by AI music generators such as Suno and Udio, identifying subtle anomalies inaudible to human ears. The company has trained the system on 94 million songs and filed two patents for the technology in 2024, it said.
However, Swedish royalty society Stim told Reuters that detection tools alone cannot be an answer to issues surrounding musical composition and copyright. “We believe that copyright and technology can go hand in hand,” Stim said.
Stim, which in 2025 launched its license that allows AI companies to legally use copyrighted songs for training models, believes mandatory licensing and full transparency for training data would prevent fraud at its source.
Deezer is in discussions with other European collective societies regarding licensing and plans to engage with organizations in Los Angeles during Grammy Week, Lanternier said.

Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto
The post Top Solana Treasury Firm Forward Industries Unveils $4 Billion Capital Raise To Buy More SOL ⋆ ZyCrypto appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Advertisement     Forward Industries, the largest publicly traded Solana treasury company, has filed a $4 billion at-the-market (ATM) equity offering program with the U.S. SEC to raise more capital for additional SOL accumulation. Forward Strategies Doubles Down On Solana Strategy In a Wednesday press release, Forward Industries revealed that the 4 billion ATM equity offering program will allow the company to issue and sell common stock via Cantor Fitzgerald under a sales agreement dated Sept. 16, 2025. Forward said proceeds will go toward “general corporate purposes,” including the pursuit of its Solana balance sheet and purchases of income-generating assets. The sales of the shares are covered by an automatic shelf registration statement filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission that is already effective – meaning the shares will be tradable once they’re sold. An automatic shelf registration allows certain publicly listed companies to raise capital with flexibility swiftly. Kyle Samani, Forward’s chairman, astutely described the ATM offering as “a flexible and efficient mechanism” to raise and deploy capital for the company’s Solana strategy and bolster its balance sheet. Advertisement   Though the maximum amount is listed as $4 billion, the firm indicated that sales may or may not occur depending on existing market conditions. “The ATM Program enhances our ability to continue scaling that position, strengthen our balance sheet, and pursue growth initiatives in alignment with our long-term vision,” Samani said. Forward Industries kicked off its Solana treasury strategy on Sept. 8. The Wednesday S-3 form follows Forward’s $1.65 billion private investment in public equity that closed last week, led by crypto heavyweights like Galaxy Digital, Jump Crypto, and Multicoin Capital. The company started deploying that capital this week, announcing it snatched up 6.8 million SOL for approximately $1.58 billion at an average price of $232…
