Music made by artificial intelligence will be banned from Australia’s top charts under new guidelines aimed at protecting “the human nature of artistry”, an industry body said today.<\/p>\n
Under new rules in force from Friday, music must be “substantially human made” in order to be eligible for the charts, the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) said.<\/p>\n
“Wholly AI-generated tracks will not be eligible for the ARIA Charts,” the group said.<\/p>\n
It said its charts would exclude songs that use AI “to generate the entirety or the primary portion of the creative elements”.<\/p>\n
But “recordings that use generative AI in a supporting role remain eligible,” it added.<\/p>\n
The move follows growing concern in the music industry over a surge in AI-generated music hitting the airwaves.<\/p>\n
In July, a cover of Madonna’s Like a Prayer soared to the top of the charts in Australia but drew scrutiny after it was revealed to have used AI-generated vocals and drums.<\/p>\n
Streaming giant Spotify has said it will launch a new ‘AI Persona’ badge clearly identifying content producers that are AI-generated and not real people.<\/p>\n
More than one-third of new uploads to Apple Music are entirely created with AI, a platform executive told Billboard this year.<\/p>\n
That month, several major music industry organisations unveiled a labelling system for content created with generative AI that they would like to see widely adopted.<\/p>\n
“These changes reflect our intent to remain dynamic and promote the human nature of artistry in what is – to say the least – a rapidly developing space,” ARIA CEO Annabelle Herd said.<\/p>\n
“The ARIA Charts will always remain a transparent measurement of the music Australia consumes, but a chart that rewards unlicensed AI output would undercut the very basis of the recorded music we exist to represent.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Music made by artificial intelligence will be banned from Australia’s top charts under new guidelines aimed at protecting…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":603924,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[220,218,219,61,60,80],"class_list":["post-603923","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-artificial-intelligence","tag-ai","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-artificialintelligence","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/603923","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=603923"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/603923\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/603924"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=603923"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=603923"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=603923"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
