The Film Academy has updated the regulations for the Goya Awards with a clear focus: protecting human work. From now on, all aspiring works must include a declaration regarding the use of artificial intelligence. In the categories of original music and original song, its use is completely prohibited, even as a support tool. The measure aims to ensure that the winners are the result of real talent.
How the technical prohibition is implemented in nominations 🎵
Producers and composers must fill out an official form specifying whether they have used AI at any stage of the creative process. For the music categories, the rule is absolute: not even the use of AI assistants to generate melodies, arrangements, or lyrics is allowed. The Academy will verify the declarations through random audits. Non-compliance leads to the automatic disqualification of the work. This prioritizes verifiable human authorship over automation.
AI is left without a microphone at the gala 🎤
Algorithms will have to find another red carpet because at the Goyas they don't sing, not even in the background. If a composer thought about asking ChatGPT to rhyme heart with song, they will have to make an effort like in the eighties. Of course, human musicians can now breathe a sigh of relief: their toughest competition now is the neighbor who plays the guitar badly, but with feeling. Artificial intelligence, benched.
