“Deezer’s AI music detection tool sets an industry standard, with the ability to detect 100 % AI-generated music from the most prolific generative models – such as Suno and Udio, with the possibility to add detection capabilities for practically any other similar tool as long as there’s access to relevant data examples.”

Content Credentials (C2PA)
Deezer’s announcement describes its own detection tool, not C2PA Content Credentials. We did not find more in the pages we read.
What is and is not documented
- The recommendation rule is quoted as stated in June 2025; the page does not say whether it still applies.
Check a file yourself
The Content Credentials checker reads the C2PA data in an image in your browser and shows who signed it, the generating tool and whether the signature still matches. It reads what a file declares; it does not detect AI from pixels, and a file with no credentials proves nothing either way. See why metadata gets stripped.
