The major labels propose rules to keep AI slop off the charts

Several major record labels have proposed rules that would prevent AI-generated songs from appearing on international music charts unless they meet specific criteria, including being "substantially human made." The proposal goes beyond an earlier labeling proposal from industry organizations by not only requiring clear labeling of AI-assisted music but also excluding ineligible songs from charts entirely. The proposed criteria also require that AI services used are properly authorized, that the model has rights to its training data, and that there are no stream or chart manipulation concerns, though these terms remain vague. No charting organization has yet signaled plans to adopt these rules.
