The Grammy Awards updated the rules for the selection of the nominees to include a series of nuances regarding generative artificial intelligence (AI), and make it clear that while it does not exclude it completely from production, it does exclude it from the possibility to win the award.

Specifically, it rules out the possibility that an AI could be nominated for or win a Grammy, limiting this fact to human creators only. And in fact, it requires that works contain human authorship in order to be considered in any category.

However, they admit works with materials generated by an AI, as long as the human authorship is “significant and more than minimal” and that this component of human authorship is “relevant to the category in which said work is registered.”

And if the work contains AI-generated material, the author of that incorporated material will not be eligible for a Grammy nomination or winner.

The European Union (EU) is aware of the social and economic value of video games, especially those that are developed online, and in addition to demanding greater protection for their users, the European Parliament proposed the organization of annual online video game awards.

In a report approved this week by 577 votes in favor, the MEPs collected different proposals and claims for the video game sector, which in addition to being “very innovative” directly employs more than 90,000 people in the European Union.

They also represent “a crucial part of the cultural and creative ecosystem, since they represent more than 50% of the added value of the overall market for audiovisual content in the EU.”

For this reason, they seek to reinforce the protection of users of online video games and guarantee a safe gaming environment, through greater transparency regarding the content and purchase policies of the products or the age group to which they are directed.

They emphasize that video game developers must refrain from promoting addiction and must take into account the age, rights and vulnerabilities of children, as stated in the text approved by the European Parliament.

The next edition of the Latin Grammys will feature a special award for the first time, which will be based on the use of non-fungible tokens (nft), after a three-year agreement signed between the Latin Recording Academy and the OneOf platform.

Web3’s music company will be in charge of preparing collections with “drops” aimed at highlighting Latin music. Event nfts will be released throughout the month of October, leading up to the November 18th Prize Giving.

The CEO of the academy, Manuel Abud, indicated that this inclusion of the nft seeks to innovate in the musical world and in a way that fans “possess a piece of the Latin Grammy”.

“The Latin Recording Academy is committed to exploring new and innovative ways to celebrate excellence in Latin music and to connect music with other art forms in our culture, including visual and digital arts”, said Abud.

The Grammys aren’t the first major award show with web3 integrations. Earlier this year, the MTV Video Music Awards announced their new award category: “Best Metaverse Performance”.

Japan recently became one of the first countries to implement the use of non-fungible tokens (NFT) to reward the work of the authorities of that country.

Mainly, authorities who have used technology to solve local problems will be rewarded.

The first wave of awards were handed out by the cabinet secretary, at an event called “Summer Digi Denkoshien 2022″, where Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida was also present.

Seven mayors received recognition for the ideas of their cities focused on the digital economy.

NFTs were issued on the Ethereum blockchain using the Proof of Attendance Protocol (POAP). The issued tokens are non-transferable and have been developed in such a way that they are suitable for the commemoration. Being non-transferable, these NFTs cannot be traded on the secondary market.
