The U.S. Copyright Office refuses to copyright songs written or generated by AI. These works are considered public domain. If you write lyrics to AI-generated music, be careful: The lyrics might also end up being classified as public domain. The Grammy Association refuses to accept songs and recordings created solely by AI. Some songwriters, artists and producers find apps, such as Suno, helpful in preparing their songs. Film and TV companies frown on AI-created songs for placements in projects. So, in the long run, what purpose does AI serve? Clinetel Records CEO Thornton Cline, Clinetel Records artist Rachel DeeLynn and entertainment attorneys discuss the ramifications of writing songs utilizing AI.
