Deezer to add toggle letting users block AI-generated songs by year-end

Deezer announced a new on/off switch that will let users completely remove AI-generated tracks from their streaming experience, set to roll out by the end of 2026. CEO Alexis Lanternier said the feature responds to clear user demand to focus only on content made by human creators.
