Australian Music Industry Body ARIA Bars Fully AI-Generated Tracks from Charts and Awards

The Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) has updated its Charts Code of Practice, effective August 31, 2026, to exclude entirely AI-generated songs from its official music charts and awards. This policy requires recordings to be "substantially human-made" and use licensed AI tools, aligning with global standards set by the IFPI. The move emphasizes human artistry and aims to maintain integrity within the music industry.
