The issue of AI-generated vocals is causing confusion beyond the Grammys, with streaming platforms like YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Music unsure of how to respond to such music. Ghostwriter, the anonymous creator of the AI-generated song, recently released another track, "Whiplash", which has been removed from TikTok but is still available on X (formerly Twitter).
Key takeaways:
- The Recording Academy, the organization behind the Grammys, has stated that the AI Drake song “Heart on My Sleeve” won’t qualify for an award.
- Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. clarified that although the song was written by a human, the vocals were not legally obtained, not cleared by the label or the artists, and the song is not commercially available, making it ineligible.
- In June, the Recording Academy outlined its rules regarding the use of AI in music, stating that it may consider songs containing an AI voice or instrumentals.
