“Artificial Intelligence: An Ally or Adversary for Music Industry?”
When it comes to technology impacting the music industry, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the way we conceive, produce and manage music. But is it a boon or a bane for the artists, musicians and creative geniuses who make up the industry?
AI has had a profound impact across society and the music industry is no different. Innovations have moved from the electric guitar to synthesizers, and now to AI. This rapidly developing technology has its share of advantageous uses as an assistive tool for tasks such as detecting copyright infringements, ensuring musicians are duly compensated.
However, the rapid development of generative AI breeds concern for the myriad creators crafting the pulse of UK’s music industry, especially with AI being used to clone voices of artists like Drake and The Weeknd. There's a looming threat of more AI-generated deepfake songs and explicit images of artists created using AI tools.
The UK music industry, that contributes around £6.7 billion annually to the UK’s economy ensuring the livelihood of 210,000 individuals aside from delighting millions of music aficionados, must strike a careful balance. It needs to harness AI to shape the future of music without letting the technology become an uncontrolled master.
What is the key to this? Unleashing the power of AI but within carefully engineered guardrails that retain the essence of human creativity. Companies like DAACI are exploring innovative ways to blend music and tech while ensuring human creativity is recognized and rewarded in this new landscape.
The government is being called to bring forward a UK AI Bill. A pro-copyright, pro-creative industries law must be put in place to ensure creators and consumers are protected in this new AI landscape.
After all, intellectual Property is human. So, the question remains, how can we leverage AI as a tool to fuel creativity, ensure artist’s rights and boost the music industry's growth?
