Madonna oder Maschine? Australien verbannt KI-Songs aus den Charts – die Schweiz zieht bis Ende Jahr nach
Mehrere Länder wollen rein KI-generierte Musik künftig nicht mehr für die Hitparade berücksichtigen. Dahinter steht eine Frage, die die Industrie umtreibt: Wie viel KI darf in Songs stecken?
Several countries are considering excluding AI-generated music from music charts in the future, driven by the question of how much AI can be included in songs. DJ Josh Fawaz's rendition of Madonna's "Like a Prayer" is one of the most played songs in Australia, yet it relies heavily on artificial intelligence. The industry now faces the question of whether songs can be in the charts if there's no human involvement.
In Australia, the answer is no: AI-generated music will not be considered for the hitparade. The Australian industry body, Aria, which manages the official charts, will exclude AI-generated music starting next Monday. The criteria for inclusion are that the song should be "essentially created by humans" or include vocals or instruments generated artificially.
Similar regulations are being considered in Germany, and the IFPI Switzerland expects a similar rule set to be finalized by the end of the year. This change may stir a debate on the future of the music industry, where creating music is easier than ever before due to AI tools like Suno or Udio.
