The Recording Academy has updated its rules surrounding Grammy Awards eligibility for music created using artificial intelligence. The rules, locked in for the 2024 ceremony, were announced Friday, and roll out explicit restrictions on work containing generative AI content.
“Only human creators are eligible to be submitted for, consideration for, nominated for, or win a Grammy Award,” the new rules and guidelines book read.
That said, music authored by a human and augmented with generative AI elements is permitted, so long as the human’s contribution to a work is “meaningful” and not trivially small. Furthermore, the human’s contribution must be in the category the work is under award consideration for.
