An anonymous producer known as "Ghostwriter" has submitted a viral track featuring an AI-generated vocal track of rapper Drake for consideration in the Grammy Awards. The track, titled "Heart on My Sleeve," has been put forward for nomination in the Best Rap Song and Song of the Year categories. The Recording Academy, which oversees the Grammys, has confirmed that the song's songwriter is a human. The Grammys updated their policy earlier this year to allow for awards to be given to music with AI-generated components, as long as the nominated category pertains to the human-created portion of the song. Harvey Mason Jr., the CEO of the Grammys, emphasized that the AI-Drake track from Ghostwriter is still eligible because it was written by a human. The Academy also considers whether the song has been commercially available, with availability on streaming platforms being a requirement. However, despite the song's popularity, it has been removed from major streaming services, raising questions about the legal implications of AI in music. Universal Music Group previously sent out a mass email to streaming services requesting the blockage of AI services that infringe on copyrighted songs. Spotify, in particular, has been cracking down on copyright infringement and artificial streaming to inflate listen counts.
