AI-Generated Songs Cause Confusion Over Grammy Eligibility

Confusion around whether AI-generated songs like "Heart on My Sleeve" qualify for Grammys due to use of generative AI to mimic artists' voices and styles.

Paul McCartney's upcoming "last Beatles song" qualifies since it only used AI to improve sound quality, not generate content.

Key issue is songs using AI to ingest copyrighted works to train the AI models, not the generated voices themselves.

Legal precedents like Midler lawsuit protect likenesses, not sounds themselves, so don't apply to AI songs.

Licensing issues will likely be worked out like sampling was in the past, clearing the way for AI songs once legal hurdles are crossed.
