Generation Hour EP36: At Wave Music Forum, Zhang Yadong & Liu Lian Ask What AI Can’t Copy in 《Original Music》

🎧 Generation Hour EP36: At Wave Music Forum, Zhang Yadong & Liu Lian Ask What AI Can’t Copy in Original MusicOn Sept 5, 2026, the 4th Wave Music Awards Creators Forum opened in Yanguan·Chaolezhicheng, Zhejiang, hosted by Tencent Music Entertainment Group under the theme "Trend Direction, Quality Growth". Producers and songwriters including Zhang Yadong, Liu Lian, Wa Wa (Chen Yuzhen) and Xiao Han joined trade-association and IP-law panels with TME’s Yang Qihu and Tongji IP professor Cong Lixian. The forum separated two layers: creation — where AI lowers the barrier but cannot reproduce a writer’s specific memory, distraction, and intentional choice — and protection — where original works need registration, traceability, and platform-side duty as AI enters production and distribution. It mirrors the global AI-music debate: not whether machines generate, but where the human fingerprint must still be priced and credited.🔥 Why it matters:As Chinese platforms formalize an AI-music stance inside an awards-grade industry room, the frame moves from "AI vs human" to "human choice, original registry, platform accountability". For Generation Hour listeners, it’s the China-side echo of ARIA’s chart line and Luminate’s data line — a third line, drawn on the creative-rights side.🔍 Keywords:Wave Music Awards｜AI Original Protection｜Zhang Yadong｜Liu Lian｜TME｜Music Copyright｜Human Choice｜Quality Music｜China AI Music 2026｜Songwriter Rights👇 AI can finish your sentence. It can’t explain why you wrote it. Where should the credit line sit — on the melody, the prompt, or the life behind it?
