AI is now composing tracks, replicating artists’ voices, and reshaping how music gets made, distributed, and owned. For creators, that’s exciting and unsettling in equal measure.
This panel brings together musicians, technologists, and researchers to get into the real questions: What does AI actually mean for artists building a career? Where’s the line between a useful tool and a threat to creative ownership?And what gets lost when the machine takes the wheel?
