Kelly Clarkson discusses artificial intelligence on the podcast “Las Culturistas,” hosted by Bowen Yang and Matt Rogers, where guests deliver brief “hot takes.” She says she “loves AI” and believes it can do “amazing things.” At the same time, she argues that AI-made music should not compete directly with human-created work on the same mainstream music charts.
Clarkson’s comments frame the issue as one of fair competition rather than rejecting the technology. Multiple outlets report she suggests AI artists should have separate charts from humans, including a comparison to robots competing alongside humans in the Olympics. Variety describes her view as “controversial,” while Stereogum emphasizes her call for separation specifically in Billboard charting. Consequence highlights her “compete” phrasing and the Olympics analogy. Despite different wording, all accounts describe Clarkson advocating separate chart categories for AI-created music.
Overall, the coverage centers on her balancing of support for AI’s capabilities with a request for industry rules that distinguish AI-generated artists from human musicians in chart competition.
