Fake Drake won't be eligible as Junos add AI guidelines to prevent robot takeover

The Juno Awards say a controversial "deep fake" song featuring unauthorized sound-alike vocals of Drake and the Weeknd won't be eligible at next year's celebration of Canadian music.

Before submissions for the 2024 Junos open on Monday, leadership has clarified that eligible recordings can use AI, but that it can’t be the “sole or core component” of the project. "We want to make sure that we have humans being recognized," he said. "We can't be awarding an AI project a Juno." “Heart on My Sleeve,” a song created by a U.S. producer who calls himself Ghostwriter, rattled the music industry earlier this year with its convincing performances by fake versions of Drake and the Weeknd.
