AI-only work is banned, but some music created with AI help may
qualify in certain categories, the academy's updated rulebook
reads. "A work that contains no human authorship is not eligible
in any categories."
Music creators must now contribute to at least 20% of an album
to earn a nomination. In the past, any producer, songwriter,
engineer or featured artist on an album could earn a nomination
for album of the year, even if the person had a small input.
The first Grammy Awards ceremony took place in 1959, to reward
music creators from 1958.
In November 2022 OpenAI launched ChatGPT, a free chatbot backed
by Microsoft Corp that can generate human-like dialogue based on
simple inputs. AI apps have mushroomed, allowing users to
animate still photos, create avatars in films and write songs,
essays and articles.
People in many professions are growing fearful that AI could
displace humans. For example, the Writers Guild of America (WGA)
and the Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) are wrestling with the
use of AI in the creative fields of screenwriting and acting.
The WGA wants to curb the of AI in screenwriting while SAG
actors want to ensure its members can control use of their
digital personas and receive proper compensation.
WGA writers went on strike in early May and have yet to agree
with studios on the use of AI, among other issues.
Actors could go on strike as well if SAG-AFTRA cannot reach a
deal over similar concerns.
