The major labels propose rules to keep AI slop off the charts
Several record labels, including the big three - Universal Music Group, Sony Music, and Warner Music Group - have proposed rules regarding chart eligibility for AI songs. In short, they wouldn't be. The proposal goes quite a bit further than a labeling proposal put forth by the RIAA, the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry […]
Recordings developed with generative AI services must not be included in official charts where there is reason to believe that they do not satisfy all of the following criteria:
Any generative AI services used to develop the recording are properly authorised and lawful.
They are substantially human made.
They do not raise stream or chart manipulation concerns.
They comply with applicable laws, including those relating to copyright, related rights, and personality rights.
The making available of the recordings does not breach the terms of the generative AI service used.
The use of generative AI services to develop the recording is appropriately signalled to consumers on downstream services (e.g., digital streaming platforms), in accordance with any applicable legislation and/or industry labelling standards.
