Australia bans wholly AI-generated music from official charts
Australia's ARIA charts will no longer include wholly AI-generated tracks, though some AI-assisted music remains eligible.
Australia's music industry has implemented a ban on wholly AI-generated tracks from its official ARIA charts, effective from Monday. The move aims to protect the human element of artistry. AI-assisted music that incorporates human creativity will still be permitted. The decision comes after AI-generated versions of songs, such as an AI-created variant of Madonna's Like a Prayer, achieved chart success.
