97 percent of people struggle to identify AI music, but it’s not as bad as it seems
- 97% of people struggle to identify AI-generated music, according to a recent survey by Deezer and Ipsos.
- The survey asked participants to guess which three tracks were completely AI-generated out of three, with only those who correctly identified all three being considered able to tell the difference.
- Those who failed to guess at least two tracks correctly were deemed unable to distinguish between fully AI-generated music and human-made music.

- The results highlight the need for further research into how humans perceive and respond to AI-generated music, and what implications this has for the music industry and consumer behavior.
Streaming service Deezer ran an experiment recently, with the help of research firm Ipsos. The finding – that 97 percent of people can’t tell the difference between fully AI-generated and human-made music – was alarming. But it’s also not the whole story.
In the survey, 9,000 participants listened to three tracks and were asked to guess which, if any, were completely AI-generated. If the participant failed to guess all three correctly, they were put in the fail pile. That means if you got two of three correct, Deezer and Ipsos still said you couldn’t tell the difference between fully AI-generated music and the real deal.
