Grammy Awards CEO Harvey Mason Jr. says AI is now 'omnipresent' in music production, as streaming platforms report over 50,000 AI-generated songs uploaded daily

Harvey Mason Jr., CEO of the Recording Academy (which runs the Grammy Awards), states that AI is now 'omnipresent' in music production. He says every session he has been in recently has had AI in it, and tools like Suno have become mainstream parts of the creative process for musicians of all kinds.

Streaming platform Deezer reports that more than 50,000 AI-generated songs are being uploaded every day. At the same time, AI-generated music is getting harder to identify and filter out.

The Recording Academy's rules say that AI music is not eligible for the Grammy Awards. The Grammy Awards are moving to Disney and ABC after more than 50 years at CBS, which gives the Recording Academy the ability to invest in content and storytelling through a new arm called Grammy Studios.
