## Summary

The first US AI Music Awards ceremony was held in downtown Los Angeles on Friday, recognising people who make songs partly with artificial intelligence. Supporters said the music still involves human creativity and effort, as the awards arrive amid debate over AI’s effects on artists and copyright disputes.

Xania Monet, an AI-generated avatar created by Telisha “Nikki” Jones, won artist, song and album of the year. Jones said she wrote the lyrics for “How Was I Supposed to Know?” and used AI to set them to music; Billboard reported the track was the first by an AI-based act to reach one of its radio charts. Winners were selected by AI artists who belong to the Sonic Intelligence Academy.
