The rules allow ARIA to remove ineligible recordings from charts, change chart positions and withdraw accreditations, while artists can challenge exclusions. The changes form part of a wider initiative by the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry. Its principles allow substantially human-made, AI-assisted recordings using lawful services, while seeking to prevent artificial manipulation of streams.
