Australia's recorded music industry, represented by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA), has announced a ban on tracks wholly generated by artificial intelligence from its official weekly charts. The policy change is scheduled to take effect on Friday.

The crackdown is driven by concerns that burgeoning generative technologies pose a threat to artists' livelihoods. According to industry representatives, the measure was also implemented to 'promote the human nature of artistry' and follows the emergence of AI-generated variations of musical works, such as those mimicking Madonna.
