AI and the Music Industry: A Controversial Hit Exclusion
In a groundbreaking move, Sweden’s music trade body has excluded the hit song “I Know, You’re Not Mine” from its official chart, citing its AI origins. Streamed over 5 million times worldwide, this acoustic folk-pop track by the AI-created artist Jacub sparked debates on the future of music and creativity.
Key Highlights:
- Chart Exclusion: IFPI Sweden states that if a song is primarily AI-generated, it lacks the right for chart eligibility.
- AI Collaboration: Music publisher Stellar emphasizes the blend of AI and human creativity, stating their deep investment in the songwriting process.
- Industry Response: Experts like Ed Newton-Rex advocate for mandatory labeling of AI-generated music to protect human artists from diluted royalties.
