A new wave of AI mimicry has artists and record labels worried about what the latest advances in music-generating technology could mean for copyrights and their businesses.
But it’s not the first time that experts have wondered about the implications of computer capabilities for human musicians.
An AI-generated song in the style of Drake and The Weeknd went viral earlier this year, raising questions about ownership in music and what the technology could mean for the future of the art form. More recently, Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. asserted that “only human creators are eligible to be submitted for consideration for, nominated for, or win a Grammy Award.”
While AI’s ability to imitate human art is certainly at a new precipice, questions about technology’s role in music production are as old as the field of computer science itself. We took a look back at some previous moments in AI music history.

The American Medical Association (AMA) voted to adopt a proposal earlier this month to help protect patients against false or misleading medical information from artificial intelligence tools such as generative pretrained transformers (GPT).
AMA-affiliated organizations raised concerns in April about the lack of regulatory oversight for GPTs, especially as the technology becomes more prevalent in healthcare settings and more patients turn to GPT as a medical resource—which prompted the proposal.
The AMA House of Delegates, which directs the AMA to support policies regulating AI-generated health information, adopted the proposal during the organization’s annual meeting this month.
“We don’t want to be chasing technology. Rather, as scientists, we want to use our expertise to structure guidelines and guardrails to prevent unintended consequences, such as baking in bias and widening disparities, dissemination of incorrect medical advice, or spread of misinformation or disinformation,” AMA trustee Alexander Ding said in a statement.

Google joined fellow tech giant Apple in cautioning its employees on their use of generative AI tools, according to Reuters.
The news service reported that Alphabet, the company that owns Google, warned employees against including confidential information in queries to generative AI programs such as ChatGPT and Google-owned Bard.
Additionally, Google told its developers to stay away from using Bard-generated code, Reuters reported.
The corporate world is busy navigating workplace policies around the tools. Some companies banned them all together, while others have restricted the types of information that can be shared when asking questions.
Samsung, JPMorgan Chase, Deutsche Bank, and Verizon have also issued bans or restrictions.
