Important note: Humans can use AI to make music and still bag a Grammy
Artists using machine learning software to make music can win a Grammy someday, thanks to a change in the awards' rules.
The Recording Academy, the organization in charge of the Grammy Awards, updated its eligibility criteria earlier this month,On Tuesday, CEO and President Harvey Mason Jr clarified that artists who use AI to craft songs are still eligible for awards. But the specific parts of music created by machines will not be recognized for certain categories and the software can't claim credit.
If AI is used to generate an artificial voice for the lead vocals of a track, the piece could be eligible for the songwriting category but not the performance category, for example, hereporters. If a human sung the song, and AI was used to write the lyrics or the backing track, the song would not be eligible for the composition or songwriting category, though it could be considered for the performance category.
"As long as the human is contributing in a more than de minimis amount, which to us means a meaningful way, they are and will always be considered for a nomination or a win," he said."We don't want to see technology replace human creativity. We want to make sure technology is enhancing, embellishing, or additive to human creativity. So that's why we took this particular stand in this award cycle.
The changes come as at least some musicians turn to artificial intelligence to create music. The technology, however, is controversial and opinions are divided on how it should be used.an upcoming Beatles track contains AI-generated audio copying John Lennon's voice, making it possible for fans to hear music that sounds as if the band had got back together, despite Lennon being murdered in 1980 and George Harrison dying of lung cancer in 2001.
