According to reports from the editorial staff of the portal, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) is considering introducing a provision prohibiting the use of artificial intelligence in the rules of the Eurovision Song Contest. It would be addressed both to songwriters, performers and performers themselves.
The European Broadcasting Union wants to protect artists from being displaced by AI
In one of the recent interviews, Jean-Philip de Tender, deputy director general of the organization, mentioned that the EBU is thinking about how it should be written in the regulations that creativity should come from people, not machines. In this way, they want to keep the spirit full of real emotions during the event and protect the artists from being replaced by computer solutions.
Changes to the regulations would certainly also apply to the possibility of resigning from performing live choirs from 2021, which was then introduced in connection with the coronavirus pandemic. Artists were very limited on stage at that time, but today, when restrictions no longer apply, it seems logical that all parts during the performance would have to be performed live again.
However, it is not known whether the regulation will be implemented before the upcoming Junior Eurovision Song Contest, which will take place on November 26, 2023 in Nice. The 68th Eurovision Song Contest will be organized by Sweden thanks to the victory of Loreen with the song “Tattoo”. The event will take place in Mälmo in the first half of May: the semi-finals of the competition will be held on May 7 and 9, and the Grand Final on May 11, 2024.
