Grammy Awards CEO addresses AI music controversy amid industry concerns

With the issue of using generative AI to create music becoming increasingly polarising, the head of the organisation behind the Grammy Awards, the best-known music awards in the United States of America, has shared his thoughts on the potentially disruptive technology and the various concerns it poses.

Harvey Mason Jr., CEO of the Recording Academy, has said that songs which have been created using AI can be entered for Grammy Awards consideration as long as the tracks have been submitted by humans. “It’s a bit of a fine line, but that’s going to evolve,” Mason was quoted as saying by TechCrunch.
