A YouTube video titled 'I'm Back,' credited to Eminem but actually created with AI voice-cloning tools, has drawn more than 100,000 views since being posted last week. The clip ranks highly in YouTube searches for the rapper, outperforming some of his genuine charting songs, despite an artificial-sounding beat and vocals. Many commenters in the video's replies appear to believe it's a legitimate new release from Mathers.
A group of electronic musicians, including 26-year-old producer Max 'H4RRIS' Harris, are publicly calling out peers they suspect of passing off AI-generated music as their own work. Harris argues that such material lacks genuine artistic intent and amounts to a way of profiting off stolen creative labor rather than true expression.
The Australian Recording Industry Association will bar songs wholly created by generative AI from its official charts starting this Friday. Tracks that use AI tools may still qualify, but only if they are substantially human-made and free of streaming or chart manipulation concerns. Songs deemed ineligible for the charts will also be barred from ARIA Awards consideration.
Australia's recorded music industry association announced that songs created entirely by artificial intelligence will no longer qualify for the country's official music charts. The same ban extends to the Australian Record Industry Association's annual awards, effectively shutting AI-made tracks out of the nation's top music recognitions.
The Australian Recording Industry Association has updated its Charts Code of Practice to exclude music that is wholly AI-generated from national chart eligibility, effective with the chart dated August 31. Songs made with AI assistance can still qualify, but only if the recording is substantially human-made, with humans writing the song and performing lead vocals and primary instruments using authorized tools.
