Kelly Clarkson says she enjoys using AI as a creative tool but believes AI artists should compete on separate music charts from human performers.

During an appearance on Las Culturistas, Clarkson compared mixed chart competition to robots entering the Olympics against people. Her proposal reflects a growing debate over how charts should identify and rank music made with different levels of human and machine involvement.

Clarkson’s remarks are an opinion, not a new Billboard rule. The report notes that some international chart organizations already exclude substantially AI-generated tracks or maintain separate AI rankings, while Billboard does not currently impose a blanket ban.

For AI music marketers, transparent credits remain the smart move. Clear disclosure helps listeners, platforms and chart organizations understand who performed, wrote and produced a release.
