MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Australia’s recorded music industry will bar tracks wholly generated by artificial intelligence from official charts as burgeoning generative technologies threaten artists’ livelihoods, a representative said on

Brisbane producer Josh Fawaz’s synthetic rework of ‘Like a Prayer’ is set to disappear from the charts under the change made by the ARIA.

Only music deemed substantially human-made will qualify for Aria's charts.
