The AI Revolution in Music: A Boon or Bane? Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the music industry, creating exciting new possibilities and sparking complex questions. In a recent development, A.R. Rahman used AI to recreate the voices of deceased singers for his new track. While some see it as a nostalgic tribute, others worry about the impact on new talent and the ethical implications. This raises crucial issues about: *Creativity vs. Replication: Does AI-generated music diminish the value of human creativity? *Artist Rights: How do we protect the rights of both living and deceased artists in the digital age? *Legal Frameworks: Are current laws equipped to handle the challenges posed by AI? The recently proposed NO FAKES Act in the US aims to address some of these concerns. But the debate is far from over. Join the conversation! Share your thoughts on AI in music and how we can ensure a future that benefits both artists and audiences. #AI #MusicIndustry #FutureOfWork #Creativity #ArtistRights Writer: Ishan Choudhury https://lnkd.in/gjBWy53w

#GenerativeAI models are capable of producing impressive artwork, music, and written content. While there are concerns about #Robots replacing human artists, I believe that AI can serve as a valuable collaborator, leading to the exploration of new creative possibilities.

Sorry to be a party pooper, but this is so depressing. If I ask Chat GPT to write a short story does that make me an author? If I get it to produce 100 lines of Javascript am I instantly a software engineer? Maybe I'm an artist if I ask Dall.e to create a picture. And if I ask Suno to write a pop song am I an instant musician? No, thought not! Suno is very clever, yes, well done. And if this generic, music by numbers pap floats your boat then go ahead, knock yourself out and have fun with it. But please, can everyone stop pretending that this 'democratises music', that it allows 'anyone to unleash their creativity' or that it's 'empowering musicians'. There is literally no human creativity or imagination involved beyond the initial prompt. So nobody is becoming a musician or a composer. You cannot claim to be the next great artist by asking a computer to do it for you. And If you think that none of this really matters then I can recommend a very good novel by Aldous Huxley (a human) called 'Brave New World' in which all individuality and emotion are suppressed and people live a superficial, superfluous existence because tech does everything. Music is one of the things that makes us human. Suno makes music sub-human

Melodies born from AI minds - the dawn of AI-powered music creation ➕ Suno.ai is an innovative AI company – with a team of musicians and artificial intelligence experts based in Cambridge, MA – that uses AI for music composition. ➕ This allows you as a user to create original songs through simple text inputs. ➕ The machine learning models then compose complete songs that match your description, including lyrics, instrumental accompaniment, and vocals, within seconds. ➕ This technology opens new paths for musicians to interact with music and makes music creation accessible to everyone, regardless of musical prior experience or skills. ❗ Another area where AI is already delivering nice results today. With AI tools, musicians can enrich their ideas and create powerful creations.

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to attend a talk by Amaia Ramón and Ibán García del Blanco at Primavera Pro on #IntellectualProperty, the #MusicIndustry, #ArtificialIntelligence, and the current and future challenges related to #copyright and #AI. It was fascinating to see how the conversation has evolved since I attended a similar talk 8 months ago at Future Music Forum Barcelona . Over the past 8 months, institutions and organizations like the European Parliament have launched several initiatives aiming for regulation and, most notably, transparency (a word frequently mentioned during the talk) from the providers of these services and tools, especially generative AI. This transparency is crucial for easier detection of when an author's work is being used. I also found the proposals for "opt-in" or "opt-out" particularly interesting, allowing authors to decide whether they want their work used for training AI models. In these 8 months, the conversation has undeniably progressed, but as always, technology advances at a rapid pace. Tech companies focus more on developing, implementing, and refining their tools without considering (or caring about) the potential infringement of rights. Questions were raised about whether limiting these tools could hinder progress, and as is typical with any disruption, opinions varied. Personally, I support progress but also believe in respecting authors' rights and ensuring they are compensated for the use of their work. I'm keen to see how this develops in the coming months and look forward to attending future panels or talks to track the ongoing evolution of the conversation and initiatives.

Big moves in the AI space, and this time, it's about the music. Sony Music Group is drawing a line in the sand. They've sent a letter to over 700 companies, making it crystal clear: Their music is off-limits for training generative AI algorithms. Why does this matter? Intellectual property rights are at the heart of creative industries. As we dive deeper into the era of AI, protecting these rights becomes not just a legal issue but a moral one. I stand with Sony on this. It's about respecting the artists and the value they bring into our world through their music. It’s about ensuring that as we build and train AI, we're not doing it at the expense of the creators who enrich our lives. Let's use this as a basis for a broader conversation: How do we balance innovation with rights protection? How do we ensure that generative AI serves to enhance creativity, not exploit it?

The Blurring Line of Credit in the Age of AI The concept of credit and authorship becomes increasingly complicated. While AI can generate content, whether it's text, images, or music, it relies heavily on patterns, datasets, and input provided by humans. This raises important questions about ownership and originality—who really deserves credit when the creation process involves both human and machine? Take music lyrics, for example. In the world of AI-generated lyrics, the system can produce thousands of variations from a single song, simply by making slight changes to the wording or structure. However, because the changes are minimal, these lyrics may not be considered truly original in the eyes of copyright law. AI's ability to churn out lyrics rapidly doesn’t grant it creative ownership, as it is still using patterns learned from previous human work. On the other hand, human creativity in music is often expressed through the melody—the combination of notes, rhythm, and emotion that resonates with listeners. While AI can generate melodies, there’s a unique human touch that’s hard to replicate. Musicians can feel when a melody is "common" or lacks originality, often identifying patterns that AI cannot escape. This is where human credit comes in: not just in generating lyrics or content, but in the creative expression that AI can’t truly replicate. Ultimately, AI is a powerful tool, the true creative value often lies in the human element—the intuition, emotion, and originality that machines, for all their capabilities, cannot fully mimic. That’s where credit should be given, in the artistry that transcends pattern recognition and into the realm of human ingenuity. 🪔 Biblical Insight: In Exodus 31:3-5, God bestowed wisdom, understanding, and knowledge to human craftsmen, enabling them to create works of art with their hands. #AIandCreativity #Originality #HumanInnovation #AICollaboration #MusicIndustry
