AI in Music: The Like a Prayer Debate | Sydney News
Description
A viral AI-generated cover of Madonna’s “Like a Prayer” is dominating global charts and sparking a firestorm over authenticity in music. Producer Josh Fawaz faced backlash after the track racked up 38 million Spotify streams, prompting Spotify to push for transparency around AI use — a move coming after 75 million spammy tracks were removed in a year. Fawaz now credits AI vocals and drums, as the industry scrambles to define the line between human artistry and machine-made music — all while the song climbs Billboard and UK charts, reigniting debates about what makes music real in the age of AI.
