\u201cIt\u2019s one more thing that artists now have to do on top of everything else they have to do to create value.” <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

However, he likened the emerging technology to autotune, another groundbreaking technology to permeate the music industry and become a mainstay in contemporary production.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s useful to look back at the introduction of tools like Auto-Tune which faced criticism in their early days but eventually found their place in the music industry. AI\u2019s journey toward becoming a standard tool in music creation may follow a similar path, as artists and audiences alike adapt to this innovation.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Regarding artists in the music industry who already use AI in their creative process, the answer to where it was the most useful was in \u201csongwriting and composition.\u201d<\/p>\n Cointelegraph reached out to Pirate for more information on the survey.\u00a0<\/p>\n In an interview with Cointelegraph earlier this year, the CEO of the Recording Academy, the legacy institution in charge of the yearly Grammy Awards, said that he sees AI as a \u201ccreative amplifier\u201d for artists who employ it in their work. <\/p>\n There has already been controversy with those wishing to get their music recognized. An artist who used an AI-generated vocal track of the rapper Drake\u00a0in a track that went viral tried to submit his piece for nomination.\u00a0<\/p>\n However, the track was denied by the Academy over copyright infringement issues. The Academy commented on the matter, saying that the topic of AI is both \u201ccomplicated\u201d and \u201cmoving really quickly.\u201d<\/p>\n Official rules for AI-generated music instated by the Academy say that a human must create the primary components of tracks up for official nomination. For example, for a track to win an award for vocal performance, it must have been performed by a human.<\/p>\n Major labels in the music industry are also trying to stay on top of AI usage, including Universal Music, which has partnered with Google to combat AI deep fakes of its artists and petitioned streaming services like Spotify to remove AI-generated tracks from its platform. <\/p>\n![](\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2023-11\/ff94ef5d-b004-4285-b03a-f49b52405f4d.png\")
