By and Anthony Palazzo

Airbus SE wrapped up the Paris Air Show with more orders for its advanced A350 model, making a clean sweep at the event after perennial rival Boeing Co. chose to postpone any announcements following a fatal crash a few days before the expo.
The European planemaker won commitments for 10 A350-1000 jets from Taiwan's Starlux Airlines Co. and six smaller A350-900s from Egyptair on the third day of the event, typically the last day that either planemaker discloses deals before the expo opens to the public for the rest of the week.

Deezer starts labeling AI-generated music to tackle streaming fraud

Deezer announced on Friday that it will start labeling albums that include AI-generated tracks as part of its efforts to combat streaming fraud. The company reports that about 18% of the music uploaded each day — more than 20,000 tracks — is now fully AI-generated. Although most of these tracks don't go viral, Deezer says around 70% of their streams are fake and that they are designed to earn royalties fraudulently. To combat this, AI-generated tracks on Deezer are now clearly tagged. These tracks also won't appear in editorial playlists or algorithm-based recommendations, and fraudulent streams are being filtered out of royalty payments. The company says the new labels will be a game changer in helping listeners determine the difference between human-created music and AI content. Image Credits:Deezer Deezer notes that for now, AI-only songs make up just 0.5% of all streams on its platform, but that the trend is growing fast. 'We've detected a significant uptick in delivery of AI-generated music only in the past few months and we see no sign of it slowing down. It's an industry-wide issue, and we are committed to leading the way in increasing transparency by helping music fans identify which albums include AI music,' said Deezer CEO Alexis Lanternier in a press release. 'AI is not inherently good or bad, but we believe a responsible and transparent approach is key to building trust with our users and the music industry,' he continued. 'We are also clear in our commitment to safeguarding the rights of artists and songwriters at a time where copyright law is being put into question in favor of training AI models.'
