Harvey Mason Jr, CEO of the Recording Academy, the organizers of the popular Grammy Awards, says that the music industry is also concerned about artificial intelligence. This was reported by TechCrunch.

Earlier, Mason said that the Grammys would start accepting songs created with the help of artificial intelligence. At the time of the announcement, people had a lot of questions about how this would work.

The Grammy rules state that if a track was written by AI but performed by a real person, it will be included in the performance section, and if it was written by a person and performed by AI, it will be included in the writing category.

“It’s a bit of a fine line, but that’s going to evolve. My hope is that we can continue to celebrate human creativity at the highest level,” Mason commented.

Mason says that there is indeed concern in the industry about the use of artificial intelligence, which is already being used extensively in the process of mastering and equalizing sounds. However, while some people are nervous and worried about their jobs, others are optimistic about AI.

The biggest concern is the need to obtain proper permissions to use the works of creators, to ensure that people receive copyrights separate from AI, and to ensure fair payments. And the biggest challenge is to ensure such conditions for the entire industry.

To improve conditions across the music industry, Mason launched the Human Aretistry Campaign to help extend creator protection across the industry. At the same time, he believes that humans are evolving to live with artificial intelligence.

“We’ll make great music with the new technology. But I just want to make sure it’s done in a way that’s fair to the human creators,” says Mason.
