The Recording Academy has spoken: AI can be part of a Grammy-winning song, but it can't win the award itself. This episode dives deep into the official new rules for the Grammy Awards and what they mean for the future of music creation. We unravel the core principle of "human authorship" and explore how AI is being treated as a powerful new tool, not a creator. We break down the real-world case of "Heart on My Sleeve," the viral track that used AI to clone the voices of Drake and The Weeknd. Discover the controversy it sparked and the specific reasons why the Recording Academy ultimately rejected it, providing a clear benchmark for what is and isn't acceptable. What's Inside: - What is the one component that disqualifies a song from a Grammy if it's AI-generated? - How did the viral AI Drake song "Heart on My Sleeve" challenge the Grammy awards? - Can an artist use AI to compose a melody and still be eligible for Song of the Year? - Where does the Recording Academy draw the line between AI as a tool and AI as a creator? - Could a sound engineer who uses an AI plugin win a Grammy for their work? - If a song uses an AI-generated vocal, who gets the nomination for Best Vocal Performance? - What are the two main reasons the viral AI Drake song was ultimately ineligible?
