The PROs Say Yes to AI Music. Should You?

from 52 Cues - A Production Music and Sync Podcast · host Dave Kropf

In this episode, I unpack what ASCAP, BMI, and SOCAN’s new policy on partially AI-generated works means for production music composers. We’ll talk about where the line is between using AI as a creative assistant and letting it compose for you, what this shift means for publishers and libraries, and whether the “stink of AI” will ever really go away.Plus we take a listen to a brooding intrigue cue, "Crisis Me a River."Watch this episode on YouTube - https://youtu.be/pIELNVxo73Qhttps://www.bmi.com/news/entry/ascap-bmi-and-socan-announce-alignment-on-ai-registration-policieshttps://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/ascap-bmi-and-socan-will-now-accept-registrations-of-partially-ai-generated-musical-works/ https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/can-ai-generated-content-be-copyrighted-heres-what-a-new-report-from-the-us-copyright-office-says1/https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/germanys-gema-launches-ai-charter-laying-out-legal-and-ethical-principles-for-artificial-intelligence-in-music/ Support for the 52 Cues Podcast comes from ReelCrafter, the professional way to pitch your production music and know exactly when your cues are heard.Start your free trial at ReelCrafter.com/52Cues!Join the 52 Cues Community! – https://my.52cues.comIt's free to post your cues for feedback from the community, network with other composers, and ask questions about the industry!Plus, member subscribers get extra perks like workshops, livestreams,  cue breakdowns, live feedback sessions, hundreds of hours of video archives, and opportunities to submit to real music libraries.One-on-one coaching sessions and video critiques also available at http://52cues.com/coaching!Note: Links may be affiliate links which generate a small commission but at no extra cost to you!
