Major record labels propose rules to keep AI music off charts

The core of their proposal is that songs must be "substantially human made" to be considered for official charts. Additionally, the rules stipulate that any AI services used must be authorized and lawful, the AI models must have rights to their training data, and the music should not raise concerns about stream or chart manipulation.
