Grammy Awards Allows AI-Generated Music for Nominations

Grammys Awards Accept AI-Created Music for 2024 Award Nominations

The Recording Academy, responsible for the Grammy Awards, confirmed that music featuring AI-created elements will be eligible for nominations in the 2024 award cycle. The CEO stated that while AI-generated music can be considered for Grammy nominations, the AI portion of a track will not receive a Grammy itself. If an AI voice model performs vocals, it may be eligible in the songwriting category but not in the performance category. The Academy aims to ensure that technology enhances human creativity without replacing it. The clarification came after the organization updated its eligibility criteria. Some artists, like Grimes, embrace AI, while Ice Cube opposes its use and threatens legal action against those imitating his voice. The Grammys have been exploring the role of AI in music through industry summits.
