A third of the artists whose work was flagged as using AI denied using the technology.
More than a third of music released in July 2026 was identified as containing AI-generated or AI-assisted material, according to a new study.
SubmitHub, a service that helps artists submit music to playlists and blogs, analysed more than one million releases from the month using its AI music detector tool, SH Labs.
The analysis, first reported by EDM.com, found that 38. 5% of the music contained some form of AI involvement.
Of these, 23. 2% were fully AI-generated, while a further 15. 3% contained AI-generated audio that had been “modified or processed” by humans.
The platform followed up with the artists whose work was found to include AI-generated or AI-assisted content. When asked if they had used AI tools in their work, 31% responded that they had not.
SubmitHub said its SH Labs tool, launched earlier this summer, was developed to help address what it describes as a “growing disclosure problem” surrounding AI-generated music.
In a statement, SubmitHub founder Jason Grishkoff commented: “I think the path forward for AI music is disclosure. People should be able to decide for themselves whether they want to engage with AI-generated music.
Our job is to give them enough information to make that choice.”.

In May, Deezer revealed AI-generated music accounted for 44% of all daily uploads to Deezer, or nearly 75,000 tracks, the streaming platform has revealed.
Meanwhile, Deezer has made it their mission to push back against AI music by demonetising offending music streams. In January, they revealed they had demonetised up to 85% of AI music streams on the service.
In September last year, fellow streaming platform Spotify removed 75 million AI-generated “spam” tracks in a fraud crackdown. Meanwhile, earlier in the year, Bandcamp banned AI-generated music entirely from its platform.
Last week, Beatport announced its plans to ban tracks that are fully or majority AI-generated, while tracks made with the assistance of AI will also be tagged as such in order to improve transparency.
