Under the new rule, works that features elements of AI are still eligible as long as a human creator is responsible for a „meaningful“ contribution.
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 in popular music.
„A work that contains no human authorship is not eligible in any category,“ they said, under new „Artificial Intelligence (AI) Protocols“ released Friday.
The rule was set following the semiannual academy’s board of trustees meeting last month, where it was determined that work that features elements of AI are eligible, as long as a human creator is responsible for a „meaningful“ contribution to the music and/or lyrics.
„The human authorship component of the work submitted must be meaningful,“ the new requirements read in part.
The news arrives shortly after Paul McCartney that a forthcoming „last Beatles record“ had been composed using artificial intelligence by extracting John Lennon’s voice from an old demo.
