UNCOVERED: Ai song is now eligible to win a grammy | History Defined

A collaborative track featuring AI-generated duets of Drake and the Weeknd's voices was submitted for next year's Grammy consideration. But here's the thing, the nominations — and possible awards — won't go to Drake or the Weeknd, considering that their actual voices aren't in the song. Instead, they'll all go to Ghostwriter, the anonymous creator behind it all, who's made a name for himself writing and creating similar AI-generated music. 

Ghostwriter's tune "Heart on My Sleeve" was submitted for best rap song and song of the year — two awards that are given to a song's writers, as opposed to its performers, Variety noted. The track was still eligible for consideration "because it was written by a human," said Recording Academy CEO Harvey Mason Jr. in an interview with The New York Times.
