97% of people cannot recognize music produced by artificial intelligence

The result of a survey has shown that most people cannot distinguish whether a piece of music is made by artificial intelligence or human.

According to Reuters, a survey conducted jointly by Deezer and Ipsos found that 97 percent of listeners could not tell the difference between songs produced by artificial intelligence and songs composed by humans. This has increased concerns that artificial intelligence can revolutionize the way music is made, consumed, and monetized.

In this survey, 9,000 participants from eight countries, including the United States, Britain, and France, were questioned. The result of this survey has increased ethical concerns in the music industry; Because artificial intelligence tools that can produce music have raised legal concerns about copyright that could threaten the livelihood of artists.

According to music streaming platform Deezer, most listeners want clear labeling on AI-generated songs. About 73% of respondents supported mentioning specific information when suggesting AI-generated songs. 45% wanted options to filter songs, and 40% said they would completely refuse to listen to songs produced by artificial intelligence. About 71% of people were surprised by their inability to recognize synthetic songs.

The Deezer platform, which has 9.7 million subscribers, has seen AI-generated music registrations rise to more than 50,000 songs daily, which is roughly a third of all uploads on the platform. With the tagging feature, Deezer has tried to increase transparency on its platform and removed artificial intelligence-generated songs from its editorial and algorithmic suggestions.

The issue of artificial intelligence music production came back into the headlines after a song produced by artificial intelligence reached the top of the US Billboard charts for the first time. Now the music produced by artificial intelligence has achieved high popularity among users and their names have been seen in the charts of Billboard magazine for weeks.
