After thirty-three songs had qualified for the Semi-Final stage of the AI Song Contest 2024, ten songs have now been selected by a jury to go through to the final. The finalists were determined using four criteria:
- the song itself
- pushing the boundaries of creative expression
- workflow, collaboration, and the songwriting process; and

Voting is now open to determine the winner of the AI Song Contest 2024. Each voter is allowed to submit one voting ballot, however a voter can vote for as many of the songs as they wish. You can vote here until September 30.
The winner of the AI Song Contest 2024 will be determined by averaging the jury scores and the online voting scores. The winner will be the act that receives the highest combined average score.
The AI Song Contest 2024 final is set to be held in Switzerland on October 5. The Switzerland Innovation Park Zurich is the host and sponsor of the fifth edition of the competition.
The AI Song Contest was first held in 2020 and has grown in popularity since. The contest is the first to encourage songs to be written by artificial intelligence. The songs are then evaluated by a jury on the use of AI in the song, while the public assesses the songs in an online vote. The contest has been won to date by entries from Australia, the Netherlands, Thailand and the United States.
