last week, "but the Grammys will only be allowed to go to human creators who have contributed creatively in the appropriate categories."to remove AI-generated music cloning his voice from music streaming services.
Mason's vaguely worded statement also highlights just how confusing the world of AI-generated music has become.And his comments aren't exactly going to set the record straight, if you will, either. "If there's an AI voice singing the song or AI instrumentation, we'll consider it," he continued. "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."
"If AI did the songwriting or created the music, that's a different consideration," he added. "But the Grammy will go to human creators at this point.", and an AI-powered voice or instrumentation is deemed acceptable within the context of a broader piece of music. But at the same time, an AI won't be considered a performer or songwriter, and thus can't actually win by itself.
