The Grammy Academy is putting in place new rules to adapt to the use of AI in the music industry.
Generative AIs are capable of not only producing written content, but also making music. A competition with the human being which is not for the moment valued at the same height as the contribution of the artists in flesh and blood.
AI exists, we will have to get used to it
With the emergence of artificial intelligence, artists have to deal with a technology capable of producing music from a text of a few lines. However, some authorities seem to want to adapt rather than apply an unnecessary ban. This is the case of the Grammy Awards Academy, which established new rules after intense discussions that began almost 6 months ago.
” As long as the contribution of the human being exceeds the de minimis threshold, which means for us that it is significant, it is and will always be considered for a nomination or a victory “, explains the boss of the academy Harvey Mason Jr. But this opening is not without conditions.
Only the human will be awarded in the collaborations
If productions integrating work done by AI can be validated, they can only obtain a distinction in the categories where it is the human being who contributed. ” If a song was sung by a human in a studio, and they did all the performing, but the AI wrote the lyrics or the track, the song wouldn’t be eligible for any composition or composition category. song writing “, is it given as an example.
The Grammy Awards thus hope to be able to impose an acceptable balance between the inevitability of AI in music and the safeguarding and promotion of human creativity. If he cannot yet advance on the titles which will be present at the next edition of the ceremony, on February 4, 2024, Harvey Mason Jr. still expects to see songs using artificial intelligence being submitted. to the jury.
