🎶 Grammys Go Human-Only With Award Rule Changes

Aspiring robot musicians looking to score their first Grammy may be disappointed with this year’s new guidelines on AI.

The music industry's most prestigious accolade has drawn the line on who can receive it — and it's humans only… For the most part.

A fresh wave of protocols released this week established new rules surrounding AI usage — and any songs that are fully AI-generated won't be eligible to snag a coveted award.

But musicians shouldn’t toss those AI toolkits just yet. The Academy's new rules DO allow for AI usage in the song-making process — as long as there's a tangible human contribution in the work.

“At this point, we are going to allow AI music and content to be submitted, but the GRAMMYs will only be allowed to go to human creators who have contributed creatively in the appropriate categories,” said Harvey Mason Jr., CEO of the Recording Academy.

“If there's an AI voice singing the song or AI instrumentation, we'll consider it. But in a songwriting-based category, it has to have been written mostly by a human. Same goes for performance categories – only a human performer can be considered for a GRAMMY.”

This change comes fresh on the heels of another major AI music headline, with Paul McCartney announcing a new Beatles song assisted by AI just last week.

And although the integration of AI into the industry has been controversial so far, the guidance from the Grammy’s acknowledges that it’s likely here to stay:

On a lighter note, one notable artist took exception to the “humans only” ruling:

So while we might not see a fully AI-generated song winning an award any time soon, the new frontier of music being opened up by AI has only just begun.
