The Grammy Awards have introduced changes to its programming, including a new decision regarding artificial intelligence that says “only human creators are eligible” to win awards.
In addition to the AI rule, the Recording Academy announced that there have been swift changes made to other categories: now, to win a nomination for the album of the year category, a music creator has to account for at least 20% of the work. That includes all credited artists, featured artists, songwriters, producers, engineers, mixers and mastering engineers, and differs from a decision made in 2021, which allowed anyone who worked on the album to receive a nomination.
The number of those eligible in the “Big Four” categories — best new artists as well as album, song, and record of the year — has been decreased from 10 to eight nominees. Previously, to be nominated for the “best music film” category, 50% of the documentary footage had to be performance based. The Recording Academy has lifted that requirement.
The change better reflects the evolution of the music doc format, often a collection of verité and archival footage, like Apple TV's"Billie Eilish: The World's a Little Blurry". Biopics and dramatic feature films are still ineligible.The Recording Academy also announced that the best improvised jazz solo award has been renamed best jazz performance, and best regional Mexican music album has been renamed best música Mexicana album .
Those changes follow the addition of three new categories, announced on Tuesday: best pop dance recording, best African music performance, and best alternative jazz album.
