The Globe and Mail reports in its Wednesday, Aug. 26, edition that Australia's music industry will exclude tracks entirely generated by artificial intelligence from official charts, aiming to protect artists' livelihoods. An Associated Press dispatch to The Globe reports that this decision follows the success of an AI-created version of Madonna's "Like a Prayer," sparking debate over AI's role in music. Wholly AI-generated tracks will be banned from the ARIA charts from Monday next week, but some AI-assisted music will remain eligible, an ARIA statement said. Tracks can be eligible only if "humans wrote the song and performed the lead vocal and the primary instruments," among other requirements. ARIA chief executive officer Annabelle Herd said: "These changes reflect our intent to remain dynamic and promote the human nature of artistry in what is -- to say the least -- a rapidly developing space." Eligible music must be produced using legal AI services, as some music on streaming platforms was created by AI tools trained on artists' music without authorization. The Australian rules are in step with new principles released in July by the London-based International Federation of the Phonographic Industry.
