According to the CEO of the Grammys, the music business is equally concerned about AI

Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr  sent shockwaves a few months ago when he declared that the organization's prestigious Grammy Awards would finally welcome music artificially created. Indeed, there was initial confusion, which he explained to mean only humans can apply for the awards, but it is okay to use AI in the creation process.

"That line is a little thin, but it will evolve," he added about how the Academy considers artificial intelligence's use in music. "I hope we can continue to celebrate human creativity at the highest level." The rise of AI swallowed up the art world like Silicon Valley. Does anybody think: AI, this will be replaced by me? What about copyright in the music field? Royalties? Is it because I put in hard work into my craft? Mason said there is definitely concern across the industry. Some are scared and nervous and others are excited and optimistic. 

Some artists are sending cease-and-desist letters to have unauthorized forgeries of themselves taken down while others are embracing their AI doppelgangers   for a fee. I really think AI should have absolutely nothing to do with music at all," Devante told . "AI could be used for simple tasks such as every-day things in life, but this is crazy. As an artist, it's very real, the 'AI taking over the world' thing. Music is my world, and now it's way too easy to fake like that's what I've been doing my whole life.

"I think a lot of musicians, especially the less 'successful' ones, see the glass half empty when it comes to AI," said the artist, also working for a major tech company. He asked his employer to remain anonymous because he had no permission to talk about the problem. "Just as the Industrial Revolution did not lead to a wide range of unemployment, in fact, more creative people, especially musicians, should change their thoughts.".

According to Mason, AI is used in music today, but it is only heavily utilized in the process of learning and consistency. The big challenges currently facing the industry include how to make sure that people get the correct permission to use an artist's work, that people get credited separately from AI, and that people receive a fee fairly whether the author of the copyright is studying or the similarity of an artist. Another challenge is how the sector will ensure that such measures of protection are in place within the sector.
