The major labels propose rules to keep AI slop off the charts

主要唱片公司提议制定规则，将 AI 生成的“垃圾内容”排除在排行榜之外

To be eligible for the charts, songs would have to be ‘substantially human made,’ whatever that means. 若想进入排行榜，歌曲必须是“主要由人类创作的”——尽管这一定义目前尚不明确。

Several record labels, including the big three — Universal Music Group, Sony Music, and Warner Music Group — have proposed rules regarding chart eligibility for AI songs. In short, they wouldn’t be. 包括环球音乐集团（Universal Music Group）、索尼音乐（Sony Music）和华纳音乐集团（Warner Music Group）在内的几家大型唱片公司，针对 AI 歌曲的排行榜准入资格提出了相关规则。简而言之，这些歌曲将无法上榜。

The proposal goes quite a bit further than a labeling proposal put forth by the RIAA, the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), SAG-AFTRA, and others. That would create a set of standardized labels for AI-generated and AI-assisted music. The labels’ proposal would require songs be clearly labeled, but it would also keep them off international charts unless they met specific criteria, including being “substantially human made.” 该提案比美国唱片业协会（RIAA）、国际唱片业协会（IFPI）、美国演员工会（SAG-AFTRA）等机构此前提出的标签化提案要激进得多。此前的提案旨在为 AI 生成和 AI 辅助音乐建立一套标准化标签。而唱片公司的这份提案不仅要求歌曲必须有明确标签，还规定除非满足特定标准（包括“主要由人类创作”），否则不得进入国际排行榜。

To be eligible, the songs would also have to respect the terms of service of whatever AI service was used, the model would have to have the rights to any data it was trained on, and “not raise stream or chart manipulation concerns.” What sort of concerns and what constitutes “substantially human made” are currently vague. Sony Music, UMG, and Mom+Pop Music did not immediately respond to a request for clarification. 若要获得资格，歌曲还必须遵守所使用的 AI 服务的服务条款，模型必须拥有其训练所用数据的版权，且“不得引发流媒体或排行榜操纵方面的担忧”。至于具体是哪类担忧，以及何为“主要由人类创作”，目前定义尚不明确。索尼音乐、环球音乐和 Mom+Pop Music 未能立即回应置评请求。

The IFPI has thrown its weight behind the labels’ proposal, though no charting organization has signaled any immediate plan to adopt the rules, the full list of which are: 国际唱片业协会（IFPI）已明确支持唱片公司的这一提案，尽管目前尚无任何排行榜机构表示有立即采纳这些规则的计划。该规则的完整列表如下：

Recordings developed with generative AI services must not be included in official charts where there is reason to believe that they do not satisfy all of the following criteria: 凡有理由认为未满足以下所有标准的、由生成式 AI 服务开发的录音作品，不得被纳入官方排行榜：

• Any generative AI services used to develop the recording are properly authorised and lawful.
  • 用于开发该录音作品的任何生成式 AI 服务均已获得适当授权且合法。
• They are substantially human made.
  • 作品主要由人类创作。
• They do not raise stream or chart manipulation concerns.
  • 作品不会引发流媒体或排行榜操纵方面的担忧。
• They comply with applicable laws, including those relating to copyright, related rights, and personality rights.
  • 作品符合相关法律法规，包括版权、邻接权及人格权等相关法律。
• The making available of the recordings does not breach the terms of the generative AI service used.
  • 提供这些录音作品的行为未违反所使用的生成式 AI 服务的条款。
• The use of generative AI services to develop the recording is appropriately signalled to consumers on downstream services (e.g., digital streaming platforms), in accordance with any applicable legislation and/or industry labelling standards.
  • 根据任何适用的法律和/或行业标签标准，在下游服务（如数字流媒体平台）中向消费者明确标注了该录音作品使用了生成式 AI 服务。
