Kelly Clarkson says AI artists should not compete with humans on music charts
Kelly Clarkson told a podcast audience in August that she believes artificial intelligence generated music should have its own separate chart.
Clarkson expresses mixed feelings about technology
The Grammy winner admitted during a Las Culturistas interview that she is obsessed with the capabilities of artificial intelligence. She stated that there are amazing things happening in the field and that people who cannot do certain things will be able to do them now. Clarkson noted that she finds it fun to play in this new artistic field just like everybody else does.
Singer opposes competition on current charts
She explained that seeing AI artists competing on a chart with humans causes her an issue. Clarkson compared the situation to having robots compete against humans at the Olympics and questioned who would throw the ball further. She concluded that while she supports the technology, it should not be mixed with human performers for ranking purposes.
Billboard chart rules remain unchanged
AI-generated music has not been banned from Billboard, which remains the standard record chart in the United States. The industry body shared earlier this year that it is committed to creativity while managing these new developments. No specific changes to the current ranking system have been announced by the publication.
