The Recording Academy is implementing changes to the Grammy Awards, including a new rule that restricts the highest honor to human creators, addressing the use of artificial intelligence in music. According to the "Artificial Intelligence (AI) Protocols" released last Friday, they stated, "A work that contains no human authorship is not eligible in any category." This rule was established during the academy's board of trustees meeting, where it was decided that AI-infused works are eligible if a human creator makes a "meaningful" contribution to the music and/or lyrics. The new requirements emphasize the significance of meaningful human authorship. Additionally, the Recording Academy announced changes to other categories. To receive a nomination for the album of the year category, a music creator must now contribute at least 20% of the work, including credited artists, featured artists, songwriters, producers, engineers, mixers, and mastering engineers. This differs from the previous decision in 2021, which allowed any contributor to receive a nomination. Moreover, the number of nominees in the "Big Four" categories, including best new artist, album, song, and record of the year, has been reduced from ten to eight. Previously, the "best music film" category required 50% of the documentary footage to be performance-based. However, the Recording Academy has removed this requirement.
