Grammys: Only 'human creators' eligible to win, recording academy says response to AI

The Hindu  

The Recording Academy are making several changes to the Grammy Awards, including a rule that stipulates “only human creators” can win the music industry’s highest honor in a decision aimed at the use of artificial intelligence in popular music. At the time, he described AI as "kind of scary but exciting,” adding: “We will just have to see where that leads.” In addition to the AI rule, the Recording Academy announced that there have been swift changes made to other categories: now, to win a nomination for the album of the year category, a music creator has to account for at least 20% of the work. Also eligible: “Music-focused and individual music videos that together create a visual album," evidence of a trend spearheaded by Beyoncé's 2016 "Lemonade" film, and explored across genres, like in Halsey's 2021 “If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power.” The Recording Academy also announced that the best improvised jazz solo award has been renamed best jazz performance, and best regional Mexican music album has been renamed best música Mexicana album. Those changes follow the addition of three new categories, announced on Tuesday: best pop dance recording, best African music performance, and best alternative jazz album.
