MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Australia’s recorded music industry will bar tracks wholly generated by artificial intelligence from official charts as generative technologies increasingly raise concerns about artists’ livelihoods, a representative said Tuesday.

The move comes after a variation of Madonna’s pop hit “Like a Prayer,” created by an Australian producer using AI-generated vocals and drums, spent 16 weeks in the Australian top 20. It peaked at No. 2 on the Australian Record Industry Association’s (ARIA) Top 20 Australian Singles Chart in May and remained at No. 4 on Tuesday.

Wholly AI-generated tracks will be banned from the ARIA charts starting Monday next week. Some AI-assisted music will remain eligible, according to an ARIA statement.

Tracks can qualify only if “humans wrote the song and performed the lead vocal and the primary instruments,” among other requirements.

AI-generated music will also be ineligible for Australia’s prestigious ARIA Awards.

ARIA chief executive Annabelle Herd said the changes were intended to protect the human element of music-making as AI technology continues to develop.

“These changes reflect our intent to remain dynamic and promote the human nature of artistry in what is — to say the least — a rapidly developing space,” Herd said.

“The ARIA Charts will always remain a transparent measurement of the music Australia consumes, but a chart that rewards unlicensed AI output would undercut the very basis of the recorded music we exist to represent,” she added.

Eligible music must also be produced using legal AI services.

The rules come as concerns grow over music appearing on streaming services that was apparently created using AI tools trained on artists’ music without authorization.

The Australian rules are in line with new principles released in July by the London-based International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, which represents the recording industry worldwide.

The federation’s guidelines state that to qualify for official music charts, a track must be “substantially human made.”

Sydney Conservatorium of Music composer and lecturer Alexis Weaver told Australian Broadcasting Corp. that the debate around AI in music was “exceptionally fraught and very emotional for a lot of musicians and so everyone will have a different opinion.”

Weaver applauded ARIA’s move as a “wonderful step forward” and said it sent a message that the organization wanted to “prioritize and value human creativity.”

“It can be quite hard to avoid AI tools in the current landscape,” Weaver said. “There is a way to use it while you’re still steering the ship and making the main creative choices.”
