abstract: ARIA banned AI-generated songs from its official charts starting this week. The decision follows a July radio hit that used AI and became the most-played song on Australian radio. ARIA’s policy targets 'mostly or entirely' AI-created works — not AI-assisted human创作.

additional property: How the Spin Works
  type: PropertyValue
  value: It combines institutional authority (ARIA as national chart body) with virtue-laden language ('excluded', 'created by AI') to elevate the policy into a moral stance; the claim feels larger than warranted because no implementation details, definitions, or stakeholder input are offered — yet the framing implies consensus and clarity where ambiguity remains central.
