After an AI-produced song reached number four on two separate charts in July, the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) has now updated its Code of Practice to require that songs made with generative AI tools are “substantially human made.” ARIA admits it can only detect AI usage if “you tell us,” however.

Songs created mostly or entirely by artificial intelligence will be excluded from Australia's official music charts from this Friday.

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.
