Grimes’ team says no AI was used to record the song “Accelerando” or its vocals, while AI-generated elements were selectively incorporated into the music video’s broader visual-effects process.
The production combined live-action performers and physical elements with conventional CGI and selected AI imagery. A representative said more than 70 professionals worked on the video over two to three months, and the credits include multiple people identified as AI artists.
Was “Accelerando” entirely AI-generated? No. The available account describes a hybrid production, and it draws a useful line between AI-assisted video effects and AI-generated music.
Why it matters: Specific disclosure builds more trust than a vague “made with AI” label. Artists releasing AI music videos can give audiences better context by stating which medium used AI, naming the people involved, and explaining how generated material fit into the human production workflow.
