#6 - What This Industry Recalibration Is Revealing

In this episode, I examine how artificial intelligence is transforming the music industry, sharing insights on issues like Deezer’s AI labeling, the rise of AI-generated figures such as Zania Monet, and shifting industry policies and licensing deals with organizations like ASCAP, BMI, and Warner Music. I discuss the challenges these developments pose for human artists—including the ethical and creative consequences of blurred boundaries between human and AI-made music—and I question what should define 'partially AI generated' works. My goal is to spark honest conversation, push for clearer standards, and advocate for human creativity amid rapid technological change. This is a public episode.
