The Recording Academy has updated its Grammy Awards rules and guidelines for the 2024 Grammys, addressing the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on the music industry. Harvey Mason Jr, CEO of the Recording Academy, reveals that AI music and content will be allowed for submission, but awards will only be given to human creators who have made a creative contribution in the appropriate categories. The decision comes after an AI-generated song featuring the voices of "Drake" and "the Weeknd" went viral.
If there's an AI voice singing the song or AI instrumentation, we'll consider it. But in a songwriting-based category, it has to have been written mostly by a human.

AI expert Mustafa Suleyman, founder of Deepmind and Inflection.ai, argues in his forthcoming book that the Turing Test is outdated.

His test is to task an AI with generating a $1 million profit from a $100,000 investment through e-commerce. He predicts that within two years, AI will create and sell products autonomously, with significant economic implications.

Google DeepMind, OpenAI, and Anthropic will give the UK government access to their AI models for research and security purposes, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced at London Tech Week on Monday. The UK aims to become a global hub for AI safety regulation.
Plans include a global AI security summit and a £100m Foundation Model Taskforce. OpenAI and Anthropic recently established their European headquarters in the UK.
"AI is surely one of the greatest opportunities before us," Sunak said. But the technology needs to be developed and deployed safely, he said, "I know people are concerned."
