Hold the (gramo)phone: Artificial intelligence-generated music is eligible for Grammy Awards — err, kind of.
The Recording Academy announced sweeping changes Friday to music’s biggest night, including that it will allow entries that use AI, as long as there is a “meaningful” and “relevant” human component.
“The GRAMMY Award recognizes creative excellence,” reads the guidelines for the 66th annual Grammy Awards, set for Feb. 4, 2024. “Only human creators are eligible to be submitted for consideration for, nominated for, or win a GRAMMY Award.”
The regulations strictly state that AI work without “human authorship” is barred from the competition. However, “elements of AI material” are acceptable.
The updated regulations coincide with a rise in AI-generated music and deepfake tracks.
Two-time Grammy winner David Guetta shocked fans this year with an Eminem track, except the Real Slim Shady never actually recorded it.
