From the viral track featuring fake Drake and The Weeknd’s vocals to the ‘final’ Beatles tune due out later this year, artificial intelligence (AI) is making its mark on the music scene. That recently led the Recording Academy – the body in charge of the Grammy Awards – to enforce a new rule that “only human creators” could win the music industry’s top nod. That doesn’t mean songs made by AI or featuring AI elements are discounted altogether… instead, Academy boss Harvey Mason Jr says that a song will be considered for a nomination as long as a human contributes in “a meaningful way”. That’s actually the case for most AI tracks – many are produced by human creators but rely on ‘voice-cloning’ AI technology to mimic the sound of a singer’s vocals. And it has proven lucrative for one Aussie producer who recently released a track using fake Grimes vocals.
