Sony Music, Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, BMG, Concord, Believe, HYBE and a group of independent labels have proposed principles governing when recordings involving generative AI should qualify for chart recognition. Their position sounds sensible enough: the AI platform must be authorized, the recording must comply with copyright and personality rights, its use of AI must be disclosed, streaming activity must be legitimate and the finished work must remain “substantially human made.” The labels are correct that fully AI generated music should not compete directly with recordings written, performed and produced by human beings.
