We're going to do everything we can to try and make sure that we're supporting it, we're lifting it up, we're showcasing it, and giving it a chance to do what it does. And if that means shortening the show, we'll do that.

Why the Grammys need to change, with CEO Harvey Mason Jr.

The state of play is so much uncertainty and I'm concerned because AI as it relates to human creativity scares me to death. I know it has a lot of power and potential to enhance and amplify human creativity. But right now we don't have guardrails in place. We don't have any systems or processes set up so that human creators can be protected.

But for me as a musician, as someone who also represents 25,000 members and music people from around the world, I want to make sure that human creativity is protected.
