As the music industry continues to come to terms with this new technology, so too will the Grammys, says Recording Academy CEO and President Harvey Mason jr.

鈥淗ere鈥檚 the super easy, headline statement: AI, or music that contains AI-created elements is absolutely eligible for entry and for consideration for Grammy nomination. Period,鈥� Mason told The Associated Press. 鈥淲hat鈥檚 not going to happen is we are not going to give a Grammy or Grammy nomination to the AI portion.鈥�

If an AI or voice modeling program performs the lead vocal on a song, the track would be eligible in a songwriting category, for example, but not a performance category, because 鈥渨hat is performing is not human creation,鈥� he explains. 鈥淐onversely, if a song was sung by an actual human in the studio, and they did all the performing, but AI wrote the lyric or the track, the song would not be eligible in a composition or a songwriting category.鈥�

鈥淎s long as the human is contributing in a more than de minimis amount, which to us means a meaningful way, they are and will always be considered for a nomination or a win,鈥� he continued. 鈥淲e don鈥檛 want to see technology replace human creativity. We want to make sure technology is enhancing, embellishing, or additive to human creativity. So that鈥檚 why we took this particular stand in this award cycle.鈥�

The Recording Academy has long considered setting rules related to AI following the popularity of new songs created alongside AI technology: , the AI -compositions of , Grimes鈥� .

In order to establish their AI guidelines, the Recording Academy engaged in extensive research, including holding tech summits.

鈥淚鈥檝e met with the copyright office. We鈥檝e talked about the future and what that looks like on a federal level and the legislative level,鈥� Mason said, adding that AI conversations 鈥渞eally came to a head in the last six months.鈥�

The new Grammy AI protocols were announced three days after Paul McCartney shared that had been composed using artificial intelligence to extract John Lennon鈥檚 voice from an old demo. Without knowing the extent of the technology, Mason couldn't confirm or deny whether the song would be eligible for a Grammy nomination.

鈥淲e鈥檒l see what it turns out to be,鈥� he said. 鈥淏ut I would imagine from the early descriptions that I鈥檝e heard there would be components of the creation that would be absolutely eligible.鈥�

So, can Grammy viewers expect to see work at least partially created with AI nominated for an award as early as next year?

It鈥檚 impossible to predict what is submitted. But as Mason affirms, 鈥減eople are using the technology. I鈥檓 imagining it鈥檚 going to be involved in a lot of records a lot of songs this year, so we鈥檒l see if some of them get nominated or not, but I鈥檓 sure there鈥檒l be some that will be submitted.鈥�

The 2024 Grammy Awards will return to Los Angeles’ Arena on , airing live on CBS and livestreamed on Paramount+.
