• U.S. Grammy Awards Announces New Rules Against AI Songwriting

  

  2023/06/24

  On April 16, the Recording Academy, which runs the U.S. Grammy Awards, made a new regulation stating that songs produced exclusively by artificial intelligence (AI) will not qualify for the awards. The new rule will be adopted starting with the 66th Grammy Awards in 2024, in a preemptive move to address the generation AI issue that has been spreading to the music industry. Only human creators will be eligible for awards, and even if AI-generated material is used, as long as the subject matter is human, it will be eligible for awards in certain categories. The rapid evolution of AI is expected to significantly impact the music industry in terms of both utilization and challenges in the future.

The venue is "Ajien Universe," a hall with an attractive interior and exterior that tickles the heart of Showa-era Western music. The main contents of the event are a reenactment of Floyd's live film "Live at Pohnpei" in the first part and a reenactment of the well-known classic album "The Dark Side of the Moon" in the second part. The first part will be a collaboration with the VJ creator group "Cosmic Lab" led by Colo Müller, bringing the ruins of Pompeii and the prism of The Dark Side of the Moon back to life in a psychedelic way. The live reenactment of Floyd's experimental period will be performed in the unique mood of the venue, along with a video presentation, making this a performance that will surely be an ultra-trip.
