Afriyie Wutah suggests AI-generated music category at awards

Highlife singer and guitarist Afriyie Wutah has called on music award organisers to introduce a category for AI-generated songs.

The acclaimed musician expressed concern over the increasing prevalence of AI-created music in the industry, describing it as less original and inferior compared to music produced entirely by human artists.

In a Facebook post, Afriyie stated, “Going forward, I think music awards organisers should have a category for AI-generated songs. The synthetic songs have become plenty for the system.”

His remarks come amid a growing trend of artificial intelligence being used in music production, prompting debates about creativity, artistic recognition, and the role of AI in shaping the future of the music industry.
